Patrick Reed, who recorded a hole-in-one hole-in-one yesterday (18th) at the US Open of a major golf tournament, took the lead with a sophisticated'short game' today.



This is Ha Seong-ryong.



<Reporter> In the



first round yesterday, the lead, who tied for second place with the picturesque'one-bound hole-in-one', has taken a step further into the climax short game today.




The fairway landing rate was only 36% due to tee shot hunting, but with an exquisite iron shot using the green slope, the ball was attached to the pin, and the tricky putt dropped into the hole.



The difficulty of the course sharply increased, reducing the number of at-bats by only three, while the lead made up for five bogeys with five buddies, keeping a 4 under par in the middle, and took the lead alone, one stroke ahead of the second place DeChambo.



Tiger Woods fell into the bunker five times due to shot hunting and was eliminated with a 10 over par, and Lim Sung-jae was the only Korean player to pass the cut with a tie for 33rd.



Fantastic shots for two consecutive days embroidered the green.



Fitzpatrick made an excitement with the'Dunk Shot Eagle', where the ball hits the hole directly without a bound, and Matsuyama climbed a tie for seventh with a birdie, a chip that was sucked down the slope after the approach shot went past the pin.
