Inbee Park shoots course-record tying 62 en route to 3-shot lead at Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship
Date:2014-10-31

Rolex Rankings No. 1 Inbee Park tied the low round of the day with a 10-under, 62 in the second round of the Fubon LPGA Taiwan Championship, to sit at 18-under for the tournament. Park, who earlier this week retook the top spot in the rankings, holds a three-stroke lead over Shanshan Feng at the halfway mark.


 
“Everything was working really good out there today,” Park said. “I probably didn’t hit as close as yesterday but I holed a lot of putts today. Obviously, two days without the wind here in Taiwan is really unusual and I thought I should take advantage of that for two days and I feel like I did that.”

Park was playing so well that the magic number of 59 actually crept into her mind during the back nine when she sat at 10-under through 15 holes.“Yeah, definitely thought it was possible going into 13, 14, because coming down the stretch, I thought there was a lot of birdie holes.  Especially the last, it’s a par 5,” Park admitted. 

Park, who pared in after the 15th to finish with her 62, came short of recording the second 59 in LPGA history and also came just shy of tying her personal-best round of 2014. “I had a score this year, 61, which was my best round and I really wanted to beat that one.”


Players were one again able to take advantage of ideal scoring conditions as 15 players finished with rounds of 67 or better. Mirim Lee, already a two-time winner on the LPGA this season, brought herself into the hunt for the weekend thanks to a 10-under round of 62, which broke the Miramar Golf Country Club record of 63 held by none other than Inbee Park. Lee sits at 10-under for the tournament, tied for third with Lydia Ko, Azahara Munoz and Line Vedel.

Taiwan’s top amateur Ssu-Chia Cheng carded a bogey-free round of 70 for a two-round aggregate of 8-under, good for a six-way tie for eighth with players including her playing partners in the first two rounds Na Yeon Choi and So Yeon Ryu.

" I felt so fortunate to be able to compete with two US Open winners (Na Yeon & So Yeon) back to back. I think I have learned quite a lot playing with them in terms of both technique and course management,” said Cheng.

2011 LPGA Taiwan Championship winner Yani Tseng could not get much going today, as she lost control on her tee shots and took a bogey and a double-bogey en route to a disappointing 2-over 74. Tseng said “today’s an ideal day for shooting birdies and gaining ground. I did not do that. My tee shots were terrible today.”

Meanwhile, Danielle Kang of the US used a perfect 7-iron to record an ace at the 167-yard hole today and walked away with the hole-in-one prize: an Audi A6 2.0T worth USD 80,000. It is the second week in a row that Kang has shot a hole-in-one and pocketed hole-in-on prizes in LPGA tournaments.
