[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] soul in South Korea is the newest stop for the aramco team series and to Mark the occasion the trophy’s taking a trip across the capital to some of its most iconic locations a vibrant City in a country where women’s golf is amongst the most popular sports it’s the perfect spot for the latest stop on the ladies European tour and just half an hour from the city center and all its science is the exclusive layout of new career Country Club home this week to some of the world’s best [Music] players might have been struggling from some jet lag sh he arrived on Wednesday night was two over through four holes got it back to underpar this is her second into the night just demonstrating how slopy these greens are right now very undulated golf course so one under par You’ be hoping to two put that is it ever going to stop is it going to stay on the green big crowds Kate following HJ Kim and those crowds Richard are called the shooting stars yes that’s the fan club that be belongs to HJ Kim what a player she is 22 professional wins and she hold out in the middle of the Fairway on the eighth hole that was for an eagle so this was at the ninth hole there’s her fans there how’s your Korean mine’s not too strong but they were out in force early today and this was for a birdie at the ninth hole and hju Kim was rolling the ball beautifully today and in that went and a super round of 66 uh 68 and that was to take the outright lead so she’s the cup house leader on four under par it’s a decent angle really that tree shouldn’t come into play careful of the flyer 112 y to the front hit the flag H that yeah how’s you look Danielle yeah you don’t get back spin off a lie like that that ricocheted off the pin well that’s the sort of thing that just is happening for her right now you see that shot into nine good shot through the back this shot here let’s watch it again hits the post I mean it couldn’t be more online it’s hit it pretty low down as well and it’s you see how close it pitched after after it hit like a foot away now it’s in the sand well just short of the sand get some good up and downs from Danielle K hopefully another here rejected oh shoot it’s got form in the aramco team series didn’t even carry the first one the par unfortunately for d Al cat would be a brilliant up and down mind you never had a chance looking at the stats only 57% of the field have hit this Fairway in regulation this 17th hole today tour average is over 70% cost DK there six over par which is in a tie for 82nd Place okay I’m assuming this is shot number four now for Daniel K and she is still the best part of 180 yard back and needs to hear cut she’s up against the trees again come out oh that Clubhouse can’t come soon enough for Kang hi left to right feel of a shot which will be neutralized by the slope no spin on it Hospitality oh down the path there we go little bit of Back Spin oh de bounc well we’re not 100% sure how many it is whether she had to play second ball we saw something them looking in the trees not finding the ball unfortunately form continues no tour that she plays on thank than thank yeah Hannah gustavson has finished off with a round of 71 and the new news continues to be good for her and her team as well because uh they are leading the team event as well they finished at 13 under pass so they got a three shot lead hju Kim with a one shot lead in the individual over mariao orbe a winner on the L this season had got to one underp for the tournament her team have got level at the top of the leaderboard yanah G gustafson’s quartet putting together an excellent opening round here playing with Laura beverage J M clu and GHA Shin now here’s one of the teams that are up there Christine wolf oh you won’t lose her in the in the dark will you what an outfit from Christine wolf a winner of a team this team event in Singapore last year had a good day yesterday team Mor well not team Mor she has been a captain but part of Team Shela a bit of a surprise which team has emerged on day two well Daniel Kang the team captain shot 80 yesterday they were nowhere near it but what a difference today makes one over for the team captain but it was all about the amateur Lee and Shaolin what a round that she put together it’s all about birdies and Eagles in this team format which finishes today remember and at this point they’re cruising they’re minus 23 didn’t even need that one this player five birdies an eagle on eight a hole out that was the job done they currently lead by two minus 23 yeah for terrific performance Tian Salin maybe the any one of the three professionals that’s going to make the cut after her round today of 71 but team K certainly helped out by their amateur qo Lee 23 under par they’ve set a very mean Target we can hear from the awesome forsome right now there with k Maria Hernandez also part of that team played college golf with Maro U Back 15 years ago yeah amazing ACC together oh how good was that chipping in from off the green that will certainly help the score card Maro to the top of the individual leaderboard as well with that [Applause] chipping that’s a s down what an interesting gear for hyoju Kim she’s not hit her irons well there’s a caddy there behind her Les luak who’s been on the bar for a few years and he um said some Choice words to describe the way her eyes have been so far up until this week here’s a good view of this part this is to remain at four under one back or two back ofbe look how far she’s got to start this one outside right two cups very good save just off the back of bogy on seven holds on to one there on eight plenty of fans or follow Charlie Hull some fans back in England there’s a lot to like about her game including that shot right there what they the Charlie’s Angels her fan club there were loads of them weren’t there at won Heath in particular today Bo get this hole yesterday Charlie Hall got a right to left for birdie here on the ninth to two on it moved but not enough yeah real rare one just a third drop shot of the week but still a very nice position for the crowd favorite yoju Kim to being a twoos shot lead as she goes looking for a 23rd professional title and the 12th in her homeland of Korea it’s a two- shot lead over mariao urbe with Charlie Hall in at three under par two shot Gap to the rest the number two player on the l order of Merit manam Dy as you can see an outside Choice chance of her picking up a second victory of the Season having one in South Africa just two weeks ago well they had to wait nearly 24 hours but confirmation team K the Champions at the aramco team series presented by PF career 23 under power their winning score picked up 16 shots in their impressive 16 round yesterday two shot went over team Gustafson team urbe settling for third alongside team rousan bushard who so round three underway what’s been going on let’s see how this leading Packer doing left off the T for Charlie Hall chipped on to here a shame she starts with a bogey round and then for the other player in this feature group Mar H rebe also not an ideal start for the Colombian a drop shot there and that open the door a bit for hyoju Kim who’s maintained her lead here she is with a birdie partner on the first so a though for hu while her playing Partners both making stretching her lead from Two Shots to three for the world number 12 off they went to number two car for 363 yds another Fairway and green found for kib this one inches on the low side yeah the crowds willing everything in aren’t they well they’re trying to at least and then for rebe drop shot on the opening hole a chance to get one back this was wow look how quick these greens are they rolling pure as it was a par indeed for the Colombian same line K same result for Charlie Hall so a bogy pass start for her which means yuk Kim three shots clear off they went to the third and it looks like Charlie found the radar something she had a hot chocolate after her second round she chilled out but was looking on the Range that she wanted to get out there she had too much time on her hand so I think this birdie would have certainly have settled her down ready for the chase to Le par yeah that took her back to three underpart still within uh three of the lead didn’t really improve for marbe after that b at the first it was a par at the second and then another Dro shot there at the third hole so I heading in the wrong direction she was going back to two under bar but tidy work from off the green for k Kim solid enough par and a little bit of daylight between herself and the rest at this [Music] stage mention Charlie had that settle up two birdes in a row so cutting the lead to two shots dreed of H Jun Kim at the career after to the par five fifth hle here she was with a birdie opportunity this at the fifth it’s been a run of PS up until that the go she doesn’t get as excited as her fans do she to hi those sunglasses but first birdie of the day for hyoju Kim seven underpar will she be caught but if they’re out like that to a birdie p on five what they’re going to be like at 18 is what I’m asking but it is a three shot Advantage at new career Country Club for the local favorite yoj Kim Cassandra Alexander has just birded three of the last four holes the South African who’s been in really good form on home soil into third place on her own Nicole Brock estr Birdie the first all pass since then Elena mman bogy the second but she’s bounced back with a couple of birdies so she is going along very nicely indeed one of the rounds of the day has come from an vanam like nasia noad because of the weather delay we had you can see the asteris by the numbers 11 that’s because they started at the 10th and an vanam finished at back nine with four birdies in her last five holes so she’s into the top 10 remember on day one she went out in 42 yeah it’s unbelievable isn’t it a 77 on Friday from Van Dam now finds herself in the top 10 okay kid at the six t box that has been pushed forward down wind hold this PA for it’s important to find the Fairway today lot of rain yesterday afternoon into the night she hands that club you knows you find the fairways placing if you’re in the thick stuff it’s hard to get a strike on it another drop seot unfortunately at the par five mariao Ube and more trouble off the T at six big trouble by the looks of things and it’s going from bad to worse so GBE seemingly out of the pitcher but this player certainly not Charlie Hull loves the competition any player here in the top 10 in the world this her t- shot Reb back she gives it some proper wey doesn’t she Charlie she’s a strong player oh look at this swing Sophie this is worth repeating at home well I often look at her and think she looks like she swings in slow motion I like a a full speed version of hyoju Kim sometimes because because it is that rhythmical she’s very on Plain sharp contrast to Charlie Hall yeah exactly Charlie’s been working incredibly hard on getting that club a little bit more around she can pick it up quite Steep and then she gets some disconnection with her left under her left arm so she’s been working with Matt belum to try and get it a little bit more rounded so she’s can hit those drawers rather than have the Leaky ones to the right just seen the side of the screen she had one let’s see if this one jumps it can do from this thicker rough get a flyer look to three4 wedge this one to take some spin off it she did take the spin off it it goes all the way to the back of the green you think how much rain we had yesterday and they are still so firm so what does Charlie Hall do now to six and a chance for Charlie Hall to close the gap a little this one will one from right to left gradually all the way wonderful so good well that’s closed the Gap to two again three birdies in the last four holes for Charlie Hall who’s being the bridesmaid quite often over the last year and a half she doesn’t want another second place seven times she has come second since her last win in October of 2022 she knows it we know it but another good up and down we saw her in our highlights make a a nice up and down at the third short Gams intact for hyoju Kim wants to be playing a a 155 pitch she’s on a roll right now though three birdies in the last four holes for Charlie Hull [Applause] oh and that’s a beautiful t-shot as well looking at Bernie number four of the day do you remember when she very nearly won the US Open last year tied for second it was a brilliant final round of 66 watch this recoil what this shaft hit her head the ponytail on the way through the strength in her muscles here we go the Charlie Hall recoil ready bounces it off the left shoulder I wish he’d have carried on more there I’m surprised she hasn’t done an injury yeah if Charlie had graphite sha with her iron she’d be snapping them remember Greg Norman how he used to bounce it off his left shoulder she has a little bit of that in there very different foru Kim that equally is affected it sure is she will know that you got to land this maybe five yards short of where Charlie did because of her Landing angle is less Steep and the spin is less for her also prooptic though isn’t it leaking to the right what a response there from our leader well if this is a sign of uh things to come we are in for a treat over the next few hours the players ranked seven and 12 in the world firing at Flags in front of some pretty big crowds it’s a 79 here for Kim okay how static she is when the lower half you see how she posts those feet down with Charlie Halls really pulling up from the ground whereas she’s got that probably what what I would say a 90s swing where she keeps her feet a little bit more into the ground instead of pulling up off that left foot now runner up in the South African women’s open mamoko Kori good try from the Kiwi who should as it stands be teeing up alongside Lydia Co at the Olympics this summer sister sister or brother sister Duos wouldn’t there now Kim be the first part here getting close to a match play situation this one from inside 5 ft keep it inside the hole move from right to left very proud love it two is B today very assured very confident indeed it’s a beautiful day her fan club are out she’s playing at home and playing very nicely give for the first win of her 2024 season how much would Charlie har enjoy this taking on the crowd favorite trading birdies I think the sun shining today that’s certainly Charlie she was on the putting green as she walked to the first te you wouldn’t have known there was a crowd there she looked switched on in the zone and we’ll have that Underdog type feeling you know look at a soline cup when she says I like it when they’re cheering for the Americans it makes me even better and should be thinking exactly the same today let’s try and make an upset here in Korea she knows she has to make all of these type of putts though today if you if she’s going to get the better of a player we know is a prolific winner brilliant hanging on and that’s a super two and what a run have a look at the score card little hiccup at the first but four birdies in the last five holes very slow this B for birdie and will break from left to right but it’s more about the speed hold a long one for Birdie on the last PA five judge that it’s not too often she’s sweating for p she has to land this close to the flag in order to keep it on that back of the green good oh what a show they’re putting on don’t know where jayu island is make another man and dyo no birdies in her 73 yesterday just the one birdie so far today but another chance coming up there player who uh is normally prolific when it comes to holding those birdies playing alongside Alexander off the back of a bogy on nine what will her response be to a front right pin good one they’ got it surrounded here on [Applause] 10 outside chance here for Kim [Applause] fact that she’s off the back of means that she allows herself to have some patience after the poor start bir on eight looking to go back to back here this one outside the left Edge it a bade it stayed up until it got to the hole and then went in it’s for five birdies on the front line for Hall [Applause] coming couple of birdies on the front night no Drop shots for Nicole Brock estra it’s another good week isn’t it for Nicole second out to the Ted pole talked about the fact she thinks she’s finally figured out how to play golf and you can see by shots like that but not just the the playing of the shots here’s Carol calman just off the back of a birdie on 10 she’s now one over total which is good enough for a share of seventh place just to remind you of the story she’s a player who doesn’t have rights on the top saw next week the L te in Germany she would love to be part of the field and there are two spots still available by finishing in the top 10 here today this is a seven iron for her go baby they straight away didn’t quite get the connection there was asking a lot of it yeah and it’s quite Sandy around there you can see it’s a little bit patchy nothing was going to jump up from there at all just check for the divot here maybe she got it a little bit clean hit that one high enough off the face has the wind picked up or we just noticing it from where they are just noticing it it’s cuz it’s back into their faces a time for Charlie you see been a right hand in there didn’t she she was making sure that that had enough on it to get to the green wasn’t going to balloon like a playing Partners just check out the non-love hand here turns the toe in for a little bit of break up there the longest iron in the bag for Yu is a six iron it’s kind of a a lump a six iron as well this looks like hybrid must be more wind up there than we think this is the equivalent of a five iron should be taking a lot off this CR we’re unhappy that’s a long way away she was just trying to cut this one trying to swing it even slower the normal didn’t get the cut on it you see that with players quite often when they move from an iron to a hybrid that’s the biggest Gap most ions you’ll have 10 yards between each but there could be 15 yards between that six ion and the hybrid five ion these players out really early this morning to complete round two all three players in fact in this final three bow had to play almost nine holes to get things done now at 6:45 this morning they had to restart opting for the putter here this is downhill all the way to a front right flag at the top of the slope so thinking maybe if she chipped it it would get away from her on the first bounce car of 60 ft left this is a great part from h k from a long long way away how about that knocking it Stone dead what touch I got a feeling a few of the fans might have fainted if that one had gone in yeah that would I thought they were going to suck it in with their chair felt that way they were trying I believe you me you find players that have that rhythmical swing goes down through the game hon emotion that she has in her putting Stoke there’s a calmness about everything slippery B for Charlie Hull picking up pace on that down slope trying to get L good she’s learning went to push isn’t she you know couple of years ago might have charged that one 4 feet by missed the one coming back disciplined approach knowing that there’s still time for her got seven holes left Kim doesn’t does she so it’s just already there you feel like she’s always trying to keep her emotions down try and soften herself over this put from left right well I’m not sure she was convinced that was heading where it headed and she’s not out of this she’s four back now well it is a miscreen IR regulation but only just for shanon nice Pace on that part from the Singaporean oh that was a lovely roll [Applause] coming now to the pointy end of this Championship here is hyoju Kim 14th hole let’s see how close can she get with this approach playing a club up the hill to a front left [Applause] pin a good solid shot peppering the he’s going to get even better have a look at this hu [Applause] Kim and that firmly puts the pressure on the shoulders of Charlie Hull big moment downhill right to [Applause] left looking good for a home Victor joj Kim two ahead four Hol still to play it’s what it comes down to doesn’t it just the converting of those significant puts PA missed hers on the last in made hers now two behind yeah while we were looking at those leader boards the players have made their way up onto the green we’ve seen this is uh pretty slick from over here for fju K yeah it’s t this one you can see the where the shadow starts that ball needs to be on The Ground by then that’s where it will pick up his Pace looking to nud this one land it a third of the way the door is a jar for hole that is certainly not in for hju Kim there’s been no Drop shots today on the scorecard for this Korean this will be handy wouldn’t it if it were to go in nice looking Parts have a look but that was important just to Cozy it down there try and put that pressure on kju Kim and the difference for Charlie coming from below the hole there she could put up the hill and across it and the other two were always scared of it going by done what she needs to do on this hole she should be safely in for a three and is is hoping for a mistake she has Miss puts it has been low and right so it wouldn’t necessarily fancy this one clutch put to come how’s your nerve they love it she that is a very good Nery pup to hold it’s hard to judge this one come on Yu Kim what a shot and what a time to deliver for that blow well that could be the winning winning shot there from po Kim not quite slamming the door shut but magical moment for the Korean most animated she’s been all week as well I said this was hard to judge just because of the significance of the slope that she was on and hitting down landed it on the number let it release and had a look look at this really keep the angles of those knees there and you feel that could be a significant couple of shots between hu Kim and Charlie Hall yeah Evan a lot of slopes side slopes downhill slopes as well shot a 61 in her first ever round in a major went on and One S of carry web down the stretch and we’ve said that all week if you grown up playing on hilly golf courses or you like hilly golf courses Evon it’s probably the most sever that they play annually I mean for there Charlie just can’t not check that shot because of that downhill below her feet it’s always going to come out left to right with way more spin over at the par five 17th Cassandra Alexander wow OD in two and a a look and an eagle opportunity there for the South African Charlie has done it a couple of times in the ladies European tour and on the LPGA but it’s been a long time since oh good looking P though [Applause] well never say never but you feel that was a significant birdie for the world number 12 over the world number eight no birdies on the back nine for Charlie Hulk a terrific run down the P nine for pravi Ur three birdies in the last four holes another so close look like yoju Kim’s going to just pop this one in first for her birdie wait for the roar she is certainly Shining her star in their hearts today a terrific run down the at n for pav Ur three birdies in the last four holes another so [Applause] close the hats the badges the banners few t-shirts out there as well of fans who have had a selfie with yoju Kim and then got theminted on their t-shirt and worn it as their Sunday Best get a few more photos today that’s took a lovely little hop Skipper to jump onto the Fairway when it’s your day yeah exactly I was off the cart path wasn’t it yeah that got that was a good break few yards on as well she hits this t-shot off the back te remember where Danielle K was earlier in the week she’d be up in the bushes but the forward TS pushed forward 15 yards so she carried the bunker she was trying to hit a cut around that corner overdid it but got some ground draw off the cart path back of the 17th into Nicole Brock estra question is how will it come out nicely very nicely over a couple of types of grass [Applause] there delightful such confidence she plays that with So Soft in the action how it just brushes the turf the ball runs up the face to gather more spin surely the door slam shut three birdies in four holes looked like it was going to be a tight Affair now looks rather comfortable for hyoju Kim Alexander has just rolled in a 67 for five in the par Kim is on that number as well and when you’re out in the lead going into the final round you shoot low round of the day bogey free five birdies it’s been clinical she has taken one step closer to this trophy it’s going to be a good walk down 18 now the end of round two she boating for only a three shot lead wondered how she would respond well bogy free is that an iron Into the Heart of the green here for K so many release through the back got a few shots to play with just wants to get this one on the green roll it through that Fringe bit of new turf at the back of this green as well not taking any chances with that this 18th hasn’t been her best friend when you have a four shot lead to take to the last she started a week seventh on the rankings L Europe should climb a little bit but significant given what she tends this year no Drop shots on the card in this final round for hyoju Kim just to finish it off in style no breaking this I mean this is one of the straightest puts you’ll find on the golf course you better mark it cuz those fans are going to go mad well a little frustrated at the end but ultimately job is done the real frustration here belongs to Charlie Hall old pars on this back night the Charlie charge was on it came to a halt walk into that 10th T box that’s for a ninth bar in a row once again the brides another runner up finish another really good week for Charlie Hall but another where she comes up just short this time it’s
