In the second round of the S-OIL Championship held at Elysian Jeju Lake and Pine Course (par 72, 6752 yards) on the 2nd, Lim Hee-jung recorded 7-under 65 with seven birdies without a bogey. Lim Hee-jung, who became an interim total of 12-under 132, will take the lead in the final round by one stroke ahead of Kim Soo-ji.
Lim Hee-jung, who has recorded five KLPGA Tour wins, was last on her way to the Korean Women's Open in June 2022. However, she had a bad chance of getting injured due to an accident on her way to the venue ahead of the Korean Women's Open, which she participated as a defending champion last year.
Lim Hee-jung succeeded in making the cut 15 times out of the 28 previous competitions this season, but only three times made it to the top 10. There was no entry in the top three. However, in this S-OIL Championship, he got off to a good start at 5 under par in the first round, and was delayed by rain, showing an excellent sense in the second round, which was held a day later, and taking a step closer to winning the title for the first time in more than two years.

Lim Hee-jung, who ranks first in Elysian Jeju in all time on average, said "I think the soft grass and the site match me well."``````````. If I try to do well, my play may not come out well. Even if I make a mistake, it won't collapse, and I'll try to recover well." "I'm nervous because it's been a long time since I've been a champion." Accepting this tension, I will concentrate and play my own."
