Korean 1-2 at halfway in Volvo China Open

FROM THE AOL GOLF NEWS WEBSITE
Y E Yang ominously moved one shot behind fellow Korean Kim Do-hoon at the halfway stage of the Volvo China Open at Suzhou Jinji Lake International Golf Club today.
Yang, who finished eighth at The Masters last week, embarked on a back-nine birdie blitz to close on his equally in-form but lesser known compatriot.
With Kim topping the second-round leaderboard at 11 under par after a three-under 69, Yang carded an impressive 66 to earn a share of second alongside Asian No 1 Thongchai Jaidee and Welshman Jamie Donaldson.

Thongchai battled his usually reliable putter to card a two-under 70, while Donaldson posted six birdies in a 68 to improve to 10 under overall, a shot clear of Spain's Pablo Larrazabal (69) and Finland's Mikko Illonen (67).
While Yang saved par at his final hole on a bright but breezy second day, Kim will hope his only dropped shot of the day after misjudging the wind into the final green will not become a factor over the weekend.
The 21-year-old is looking to follow up a third place at the Luxehills Chengdu Open at the start of April and a maiden victory on the Korean Tour at the SBS Tomato Open just last week.
"I thought I would be quite nervous as it is a big tournament, but I am very comfortable after two rounds," said the 2006 Asian Games gold medallist.
"I hope to play well this week and hopefully become the champion. I am not nervous and I feel comfortable after winning last week in Korea.
"I shot 64 last week and I feel I am the hottest Korean player right now."
The only Scot to miss the cut - by one shot - was 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie with rounds of 74 and 71. The highest-placed Scot is the mercurial Marc Warren, six shots off the pace with scores of 71 and 68 for 139.
