SEOUL, June 12 (Yonhap) — Journeyman professional golfer S.M. Lee posted a stunning 7-under 65 at the rain-shortened Mobile Bay LPGA Classic on Thursday, grabbing the first-round lead at 20 under.
The South Korean has only one LPGA Tour title to her credit in her 13-year career.
The tournament in Mobile, Alabama, was cut short after 36 holes because of a weather forecast of heavy rain. Players completed two rounds on Friday.
Lee began the second round at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Magnolia Grove Crossings Course with a four-stroke lead but couldn’t match her fireworks from Thursday. She shot 1-under 71, while two-time major winner Brooke Henderson, of Canada, fired 8-under 64 to close the gap to just one heading into the weekend.
Third-round tee times will now begin at 11 a.m. Saturday to avoid potential storms.
Rory McIlroy has become one of the most dominant golfers on the planet by constantly striving to improve his game. One of the ways he does this is through his unique practice method.
McIlroy’s practice method is based on the idea of “deliberate practice.” This means that he focuses on practicing the shots that he needs to improve the most. He also sets specific goals for each practice session and tracks his progress over time.
This method has helped McIlroy to become one of the best ball strikers in the world. He is able to hit the ball with great accuracy and consistency, even under pressure.
If you want to improve your ball striking, then you should consider adopting McIlroy’s practice method. It is a challenging method, but it is also very effective. With dedication and hard work, you can see significant improvement in your game.
