The second round of the men's golf tournament in the United States was held in California on the 29th, and Hideki Matsuyama increased his score by four to move up to 40th place.
Matsuyama was late in the first round with 119th place, but putt was strong on that day, and he went around with 7 birdies and 3 bogies to increase the score to 2 under and move up to 40th place.
It is 7 strokes behind the leader.
Matsuyama said, "I had a good putt in the first half, and it was great that I was able to extend three at the start. I couldn't recover the shot at all, but it may change in a day."
Satoshi Kodaira, who started from 69th place, dropped one score to become an even par in total, and did not advance to the final round without hitting the qualifying pass line.
Norwegian Viktor Hovland is in the lead with a total of 9 under.
