(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Im Soon-hyeon = Ha Min-song (25) took the lead in the second round of the Korea Women’s Professional Golf (KLPGA) Tour E1 Charity Open (total prize money 800 million won).

In the second round of the E1 Charity Open (total prize of 800 million won) held at South Springs Country Club (par 72) on the 28th, Ha Min-song caught 7 birdies without bogey and hit a 7-under 65.

Ha Min-song, who was tied for 39th with an even par in the first round, reduced seven strokes in the second round alone and climbed 38 places to the top with a total of 7-under 137 for two days.

Ha Min-song, who had to be content with runner-up after being blocked by Ji Han-sol (26) at last year’s tournament, will win this tournament and achieve two career victories in six years and nine months.

Ha Min-song won the Bogner MBN Women’s Open in August 2015.

After the second round, Ha Min-song said, “I thought it would be difficult after the first round, but I finished with a good ranking today, so I will try to be as greedy as possible.” I’ll give it to you,” he said.
