second day of the inaugural Kharkov Superior Cup as the South
Korean equalled the course record at Superior Golf and Spa Resort
in the Ukraine with a stunning 64.
That
eight under par round came courtesy of eight birdies and a
hole in one, and moved the 24 year old to the summit on 14 under
par, with Lloyd Kennedy the closest threat on eight under par after
the Englishman signed for a six under second round of 66.
hole in one, and moved the 24 year old to the summit on 14 under
par, with Lloyd Kennedy the closest threat on eight under par after
the Englishman signed for a six under second round of 66.
Kim’s
round could not have got off to a more perfect start as he
birdied the par four tenth, his first, before holing out with a seven iron tee shot from 164 yards at the 11th. Incredibly, his was the
second ace in as many groups as Denmark’s Mark F Haastrup had
carded a hole-in-one in the group immediately ahead.
birdied the par four tenth, his first, before holing out with a seven iron tee shot from 164 yards at the 11th. Incredibly, his was the
second ace in as many groups as Denmark’s Mark F Haastrup had
carded a hole-in-one in the group immediately ahead.
Indeed, Kim revealed that he had witnessed Haastrup’s shot from the tenth green before repeating the feat minutes later.
“It
was crazy because right after Mark hit the shot, in the group ahead, I
was wondering where the pin was so I looked back and I saw the ball jump
in,” said the Seoul native, who was two shots
off the lead after the opening round.
“I
was the first one to realise it went in the hole. Then we just got on
the tee and I just hit my shot and it went in. It was crazy. He pretty
much gave me the line! He put a good image in
my head, definitely.
“There
were no celebrations for a while because we weren’t completely sure but
when we got up to the green, there were a few high fives alright.
“I
hit a lot of good shots today and obviously the hole in one helped me
to get things going. I putted better today but actually I hit the ball
better on the first day.
“I
didn’t make too many mistakes and made some good saves so it was all
good. I'm trying not to think too much right now because I have been
trying to play too well recently which resulted in
not great rounds. I'm trying to do too much.
“But I’ll try to stay out there and just let go and play. I think that’s why it’s gone so well in the last few days.”
The
other hole in one hero, Haastrup, was one shot behind Kennedy and seven
shots off the lead on seven under par after a three under 69. He was
joined in tied third by his compatriot Lucas
Bjerregaard (70), Englishman Steve Tiley (69), Germany’s Bernd
Ritthammer (68) and first round leader Victor Riu (73) of France.
