For the second consecutive year Bo Jin has taken the halfway lead at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship.
Jin backed up his opening 65 with a second-round 69 on Friday to remain in front at Amata Spring Country Club in Thailand.
Jin’s two-round total has him at 10-under 134, a shot ahead of TK Chantananuwat and Wooyoung Cho. Karl Vilips of Australia is among the group at 8 under, two shots behind heading into the weekend.
The tournament winner receives invitations into the 2023 Masters and Open Championship.
A senior at Oklahoma State, Jin led at the midway point a year ago in Dubai before ultimately tying for third, a few shots behind world No.
