The KLPGA women continue to play through the coronavirus pandemic this weekend, even as news broke that the Korea Golf Association is canceling one of the most prestigious events on the men’s side.
Hee Jeong Lim shot an 8-under-par 64 to surge to the top of the leaderboard Saturday at the KLPGA Championship at Lakewood Country Club in Yangju. She moved to 15 under overall, three shots ahead of Hyun Kyung Park (67) and Seon Woo Bae (72).
The Korea Golf Association announced late in the day Friday that it is canceling the Korea Open for the first time in the event’s 62-year history.
