Sihwan Kim of the United States in action in the second round of the SMBC Singapore Open.
With a stellar seven birdies and a double bogey as the only blemish, the 33-year-old shot up to the top of the leaderboard at nine under, three shots ahead of Asian Tour Order of Merit leader Kim Joo-hyung, who shot a second consecutive 68 to put himself in contention at the Serapong Course. Sihwan Kim had good pedigree in winning the US Junior Championship back in 2004, and it showed as he closed out his round with four birdies in his final nine holes.“To be honest, I just had a terrible practice round, so I didn’t really expect that. But at the end of the day, you know, you just kind of find what you have and score from there. So that’s what I’ve been doing.”
His nearest challengers, Thailand’s Phachara Khongwatmai and the United States' Trevor Simsby, are off the pace, while another - Taiwan's Chan Shih-chang, will miss the cut.
