On January 15, Beijing time, the first 144-man full-team game in 2022, the Hawaii Sony Open, ended the second round of competition. Li Haotong continued the fiery feel of the first round of the competition, scoring a -5 65 in this round, the total result reached -12, and the ranking rose to a single second place, only three strokes behind the leader Russell Henry. Behind Li Haotong is Matt Kuchar (-11) who is third in line with a group of good players in T4 with a -9 (including Brant Snedeker, Hideki Matsuyama, etc.).
After the 36-hole match, the promotion line was -5, and players such as Ren Chengzai (-2) and Wu Biyuan (-2) failed to qualify.

After the first round of the lowest single-round record for a Chinese player on the PGA Tour (63 strokes), Li Haotong continued to work hard in the second round, shooting a 65 (-5) of 6 birds and 1 bogey, finishing second alone with a total score of -12.

Li Haotong continued the fiery feel of the first round this round, starting in the first nine, he caught two birds in a row on the 2nd and 3rd holes of the opening game, and then caught another bird on the 5th hole. On No. 6, he hit the green slightly larger, after which the putter also fluctuated, swallowing the only bogey of the round.
After the transfer, Li Haotong continued to work hard, grabbed three birds, and finally ended the round of competition with a 65 (-5). In the middle of this round of matches, Li Haotong once came to a tie-leading position, and I believe he will continue to surprise Chinese fans at the weekend!
Lead the big shuffle, the attack of the former champions!
(Henry waving)
The 2013 champion, American Russell Henry played brilliantly in this round, he blasted 2 eagles, 5 birds and 2 bogeys of 63 (-7), jumping from T2 to individual first place.
Henry joined the PGA Tour in 2013 and won his first PGA Tour win at the Hawaii Open the same year, and he will take the advantage of three strokes to launch a career fourth victory in his own blessed land.
(Kuchar in the game)
Another former champion, Matt Kuchar (who won here in 2019), also played well in this round, shooting a 5-bird 0 bogey 65 (-5) and moving up six places to a single third place.
Kuchar also finished third in total scoring scores this week (7.196) and tied for first place (100 percent) in save success rates, and he has the opportunity to continue to pound his PGA Tour tenth crown. Michael Thompson, with a finishing bird, maintained his position in a single fourth place, just one shot behind Kuchar.
(Hideki Matsuyama cuts birds into the hole)
With as many as 11 players in T5 at -9, they are six strokes behind the leader, still retaining the possibility of catching up on the move day. Among them is Hideki Matsuyama, who shot a 7-bird-to-2 bogey 65 (-5) in this round, and Hideki Matsuyama's compatriot, Keita Nakajima, who is ranked no. 1 amateur in the world, who shot a 7-bird-and-1 bogey 64 (-6). Veteran Brent Snedeker is also in this echelon.
