ROUND 2 NOTES\u00a0<\/p>\n
EVEN SPLIT: Of the 22 players who advanced into the weekend, 11 were exempt into the second round while the other 11 played the first round at Black Diamond Ranch.<\/p>\n
Richard T. Lee has the best two-day performance, shooting rounds of 64-66. He considered it an advantage to have a bit more competition time at a course most players in the field had never seen until this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI played three practice rounds and didn\u2019t really get the feel of it too much,\u201d Lee said. \u201cOn the first round, actually I found out more about the greens and where to place my shots and not to leave it.\u201d<\/p>\n
COUNTRY BREAKDOWN: 15 countries are represented by the 22 remaining players. The only countries with multiple players left are Thailand (5) and Australia (4).<\/p>\n
Countries with one player remaining include: Canada, Denmark, England, Ireland, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, United States and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
FINDING HIS FORM: Jeunghun Wang said a solo second at the Moutai Singapore Open on the Asian Tour in November \u2013 which matched his best finish since his last career win in 2017 \u2013 was a turning point that he\u2019s carried over into this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t really playing that good before Singapore,\u201d Wang said, \u201cbut after Singapore, I got a lot of confidence, and I still now have a lot of confidence. I\u2019m really looking forward to playing the next two days.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ADVANCING INTO ROUNDS 3-4 The top 20 and ties from Friday\u2019s second round advanced to compete in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":403134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-403133","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=403133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/403133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/403134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=403133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=403133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=403133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
