Korean golfer Jeongwoo Ham emerged as the surprise halfway leader at the Singapore Open, held at Sentosa Golf Club. He carded a three-under-par 68 on the challenging Serapong Course to reach 10-under par, securing a two-shot lead over Thailand's Jazz Janewattananond.
Top Contenders
Jazz, who won the tournament on this course in 2019, fired a 66 to move into second place. India's Gaganjeet Bhullar and Japan's Tomohiro Ishizaka share third place at 7-under par, another stroke behind the leader. Both Bhullar and Ishizaka shot 68s in the fourth event of the Asian Tour season, which is also part of The International Series.
Ham's Performance
Ham started the day in a share of the lead with Thailand's Ekpharit Wu and maintained his momentum, while Wu struggled with a 75. The Korean has only played in seven Asian Tour events outside Korea, with his best finish being joint 29th at the International Series Japan two weeks ago.
With a two-shot advantage heading into the weekend, Ham will look to secure his first Asian Tour victory. The Singapore Open continues to provide thrilling action as the field competes for the title.
