Lee Seung-min continued his title defense at the U.S. Adaptive Open with a second straight day at the top of the leaderboard.
Lee carded four birdies and five bogeys for a 1-over-par 73 in the second round of the second U.S. Adaptive Open at Pinehurst Resort and Country Club (Par 72) in North Carolina, U.S., on Wednesday (KST).
With a 3-under-par 141 total, Lee is in third place, two strokes behind leader Kip Popper. If Lee can pull off the upset in the final three rounds, it will be his second consecutive victory.
Lee, who is on the autism spectrum, earned his professional status on the KPGA Tour in 2017. Last year, he was the inaugural champion of the U.S. Open for People with Disabilities, a golf tournament organized by the United States Golf Association (USGA).안전놀이터
