The second round was fierce
(Ram next city)
"World Brother" Ram's opponent in the second round is American player Cameron Young, who is currently ranked 45th in the world.
Cameron Young grabbed birds back-to-back on holes 4 and 5, leading two holes at one point. However, Ram grabbed a bird on par 6 to narrow the gap.
Subsequently, with his opponent swallowing three bogeys in a row, Ram overtook two holes and grabbed birds back-to-back on the 11th and 12th holes, and finally won 5 holes and 4 holes left, winning a winning streak.
(Garcia and Morikawa are tied)
The most notable in the second group was the showdown between Morikawa and Garcia.
In the early stages, Morikawa had been in a state of suppression, maintaining his advantage of three holes to the 13th hole. Facing an opponent with momentum, Garcia made a strong effort to catch three birds in a row on the 14-16th hole to smooth out the gap.
On par 18, the crucial par four, Garcia scored a second on the green in the face of an unsatisfactory kick-off, and then tied with Morikawa on the same hole as Paula. Currently, both have a 1-0-1 record.
(JT scored 1 point)
JT and his opponent in this round, Mark Leishman, also lost in the previous round, so both desperately need a win.
However, JT did not leave too many opportunities for the opponent. Although the duo alternated leads on the first five holes, JT played more steadily, winning four consecutive holes after the transfer, and finally winning 5 holes with 4 holes left, earning a valuable 1 point.
(Cantley lost this round)
Fourth-group seeded Cantley was the opposite of JT's situation, losing four of his five holes in the round to Ireland's Hickyos Pavor. The current record is 0-1-1.
Deschampeau, who returned from injury, lost to Lee Westwood in one hole and, after two rounds, also achieved a draw and a loss.
(Ball of the round: Kiegan Bradley on the green on the 18th hole)
The best goal of the round came from Group 11's Keegan Bradley, whose opponent in this round was Adam Scott.
Bradley, who had been suppressed by Scott, grabbed birds back-to-back on holes 15 and 16, narrowing the gap to one hole.
On the final hole, he shot an incredible shot from behind a tree, the ball rolled near the hole with the help of the slope outside the green, and then successfully caught the bird, and finally drew with the opponent.
Justin Rose, in the same group, won 3 holes and 2 holes left to defeat Spieth.
