Asian Tour: Min-woo Lee leads golf’s Macau Open after ‘flawless’ day continues flying start
- ‘The last two days have been probably the lowest two days I’ve ever played,’ Lee says
- Thailand’s Poom Saksansin moves up the leader board behind the Australian, with South Korea’s Jae-woong Eom and Meen-whee Kim joint third
Min-woo Lee backed up his fast start to the SJM Macau Open with another impressive display on Friday, and this time it will earn him a spot in the record books.
A day after matching the course record 62 from preferred lies, the Australian carded a seven-under-par 64 to move to 16 under overall, the lowest two-round total in the event.
Starting the day level with David Drysdale, Lee moved three shots clear of the field, with Thailand’s Poom Saksansin, who won in Taiwan three weeks ago, behind him on the leader board following a 62.
South Korea’s Jae-woong Eom and Meen-whee Kim are third, four shots off the lead. Drysdale carded a 71 to remain at nine under and ended the day in a tie for 12th.
Despite playing what he called “flawless golf”, Lee missed several birdie opportunities, including from four feet on the last.
“I played really good, didn’t get myself in too much trouble, and the last two days have been probably the lowest two days I’ve ever played, so it’s been fun,” he said.
