Lee So-mi is the LPGA's best topic

After the second round of the Mizuho Americas Open on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, Lee So-mi, a "super rookie" from Korea, is drawing attention as she ranked second (7 under par) alone.

This year's championship has special meaning to Lee. Lee, who was not qualified to participate in the championship, was practicing in the driving range as the second priority ahead of the opening. Since it is rare that Lee will play in the second event, he emptied his mind and focused on practicing. Then, suddenly, Maya Stark of Sweden withdrew from the race for the second time after Caroline Mason of Germany due to cold. Lee suddenly had the opportunity to play in the race just an hour before the tee-off, and as a rookie, she garnered attention by reducing six pars and taking the solo lead. In the second round of the competition that continued on Sunday, Lee only reduced one par, but maintained the lead by ranking second.
"I'm so grateful to be able to play as a standby and perform well," Lee So-mi said with a big smile about being in the lead for two consecutive days after the game.

Lee came to the stadium early this morning to prepare for the event. "I am so grateful for everything. Even if I make mistakes, I will try to participate in the event with gratitude," Lee said.

On the first day of the competition, Lee had a small incident. She sent her caddie home unexpectedly. Eventually, Lee hired her father, Lee Do-hyeon, who was present, as a caddie to participate in the competition. The incident became a hot topic of conversation among foreign reporters at the event.

On the second day of the competition, a foreign journalist asked with a smile, "What did you say after 'Daddy's Caddie' was cut off?" Lee So-mi made a sea of laughter by sharing an anecdote, saying, "My father said it was the beauty of the end of the war," and, "I can't do it because it's too hard, so I told him to join a professional caddy now."

Lee So-mi, who has become a rookie for the first time in a long time, is feeling how much she is growing through the U.S. stage and expressed her expectation for future development. "I feel every week how amazing LPGA players are. If I survive here, I think I can become a better player," she said.

Meanwhile, the third round of the Mizuho Americanas Open, where Lee So-mi is expected to play well, will be available on JTBC Golf from 3:45 a.m. on the 19th.
