Soomin Lee grabbed the lead at the halfway mark of the Moutai Singapore Open today after making birdie on the last two holes – rekindling memories of previous exploits here on the New Course at Singapore Island Country Club a mere 14 years ago.
The Korean shot a second-round eight-under-par 64 to reach 12-under for a two-shot advantage over a group of 10 players: Kevin Yuan (64), Matthew Cheung (64), Ian Snyman (65), Wang Wei-hsuan (66), John Catlin (66), Sarit Suwannarut (66) James Piot (66), Caleb Surratt (68), Ollie Schniederjans (68) plus Jeunghun Wang (70).

And what has been going on? Well, Paul Casey slightly disappointing back nine yesterday. Birdied the par five fourth which you pretty much have to do on this new course. This was his T-shot at the fifth. Just for a moment. Just for a moment. Tap in buddy. Two in a row. Finished with a 70 for five under bar. Now Anthony Kim, former American Rider Cup player, beginning to rediscover some of that old form. This is his second into the par five. Fourth, beautifully judged, taking the slope. Albatross very nearly. He would hold it for Eagle though. A 69 for Kim. He’s on seven under. Long hitting one way. Schwan started on the back nine, turned around at three under. Bogey the second but bounced back with three birdies in his last five including this one on the par five seventh ended his day at six under par. John Catelyn been struggling to find some form but seem to have turned things around today. Bogey free six under par with this eagle on the fourth par five. Young Caleb Serat, member of Legion 13. This is his third at the par five fourth. Lots of grit. Slow and steady day. Ended it with a four under par. Wow. Ian Steinman, the 30 from Cape Town, got off to an incredible start. That was a birdie on nine to go out in 29 shots. And then here for birdie on 13. in for another birdie. He would double the 15th but strut at 65 for the day, 10 under for the tournament. Ollie Schneider’s winner of International Series India at the start of the year shot a 66 yesterday that was his third on the par five led to a birdie around a 65. He sits at 10 under par, but it’s Sumin Lee 72nd on the Asian Tour. Merritt needs a very good end of the season to keep his card. Six under for the round. That was an eagle putt on 17. A birdie on 17. And this is third onto the par five finishing hole that led to another birdie for the Korean. This is the park. a round of 64 and currently sits at 12 under par. Yeah, potentially a big run for Suman Lee as he mounts his challenge for the Mutai Singapore Open. Currently leading by two from Schneider Jans, from Surat, from Kaplan, Wesan Wang has been having such a good season. Ian Snyder and James Pup, they’re all on 10 on par. They’re all in the clubhouse. Keradec Happy Barnrat a 71 today. So he’s on eight under alongside Nittorn Tipong. Another player who badly needs a good week. He’s at 121 and the Asian tour order of merit. Garanc six under par currently. This for birdie at six. Still looking for his first Asian tour win. Too talented a player not to eventually. And that’s from 94 yards for Taylor Gu. Sarah this for his Eagle after a great second shot into this par five fourth green right to left tucked hole location curling it in. Yes. This is going to be a slippery putt for Taylor with a little bit of left to right break right here. Stay up. as Storm holds out. Well, that’s another fantastic putt by Troy Storm. 725 under. He’s going to be here tomorrow as well. Hit a good shot. Advanced quite a bit farther than what the lie would indicate. just 69 yds left for his third shot. Just got to be careful of the downwind playing on on this uphill shot. Good shot. Terrific iron play and a terrific putter, too. Sarret is second at six. Ball above his feet. She’s going to want to create a bit of a hook spin, which should help with today’s whole location and using those contours perfectly. What a pot round the hole. It is downgrain for the players and slightly downhill. Just gets a little bit of release. Yeah, there you go. And he’s spot on. That he landed right on the edge of the change of grain. Judged it to perfection. 28 back, five off the left. That’s the easy bit. That’s strange. Had the ball on a tea. Pick the ball up and just put it on the grass. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. That was worth waiting for. Lovely shot from Seratanut. We go back to Dominic F who knocks one in for Birdie at 10. That’s a bonus. Yes. And with that distance, the players are dealing with a little bit of headwind. So it should be just about a five iron. Some of the stronger players will be a sixiron with this distance. A great shot. That is terrific. Nick Vog, this is his third on the par five. Seventh. He’s one over for today. That will change things. The quant trying to turn things around today. This for eagle. Get in. Another big hidden Kiwi Denzel Remier. This for birdie. Nicely done. That takes him to five under. Back to back birdies. Well, it’s just a driving two iron for Michael Lauren Shin from the right side of this fairway. Bit of breeze into his face and off the left. Oh, that’s on a pretty nice line. This group has been told they’re out of position, so they need to get the giddy up and that will certainly help. What a shot that might ah just climb the next ridge. But still, that’s for Eagle. What a swing that was. Wang for Birdie on the ninth after boing eight. And he’s got it. Stays pretty flat around the hole. So he can play this with, you know, a little bit more conviction and pace knowing that there’s no real danger of this one getting away from him. And anything short of that mount is going to kill the forward momentum. Anything past the mount on the back side of it, the ball’s going to get a good scoot kick forward. There’s an option for him to play slightly left of the pin and maybe take a six, seven, eight footer. Oh, you could hold it. Wow, talk about a bonus. That was an impossibly difficult shot for Miguel and he’s popped it straight in for an Eagle three. Eagle attempt for Taylor Gu from the back of the 14th. Oh my goodness. Everyone’s making it look a little easy in the last 10 minutes. Gets him to seven under par. Nick Vog second on the ninth took an aggressive play off the tee. Now Luke Quan the back of this ninth green double breaking putt. Downhill down grain for par. Now Nick Vog for birdie decent lie but just because he’s going to lose a little bit of backspin. He’s got to be careful of the back left portion which looks extremely shiny. This from 105 yards. Go. Nice shot. Great second shot from Chase Kepka on the par five fourth. Converted that into an eagle. Now Jazz from the fairway looking to hit it inside of Jungle Wangs ball. Oh. Oh. Well, he was got to keep your speed up as these greens slow down later on in the day. Oh, that would have been a second chip and eagle. Birdie putt for Sarid. Oh, creeps in there. That gets him to six under for today. 10 under. Had to lay up here out of the left rough. Got 82 yards left. First third. Oh, this is beautifully played. Chase Keep for a birdie at seven, his 16th. Yeah, there’s more than one. Keep plays top class tournament golf. So, Suman Lee with a 64 round of the day. Leads by two at 12 under par. But once again, so many players within just a few shots. Thank you for watching Asian Tour on YouTube.
