Lee So-mi only reduced one stroke in the second round of the Mizuho Americas Open (total prize money of $3 million) on the LPGA Tour, but the competition for the lead continued.

Lee So-mi shot a 1-under 71 in the second round of the tournament at Liberty National Golf Club (par 72) in Jersey City, New Jersey, on the 18th (Korea time).
Lee So-mi, who was the sole leader with 6 under par on the first day, recorded a mid-term total of 7 under par 137 strokes, one step down to second place.

Lee So-mi, who debuted on the LPGA Tour this year and tied for 13th in the JM Eagle LA Championship last month, was originally a "waiting player No. 2" ahead of the tournament, but has taken the opportunity to play due to the withdrawal of other players.

The participation was uncertain enough to send even the caddie home, but on the first day of the dramatic move, he left his golf bag to his father and swung a hard blow, but the momentum was somewhat dampened on the day with his caddie, not his father.

However, the gap with Ataya Thitikul (9-under 135, Thailand), who took the lead alone on the day, is only two strokes, which is enough to continue his challenge to win as well as to enter the top 10 for the first time of the season.

Lee So-mi, who made a bogey on the first hole (par 4), failed to reduce the number of strokes by exchanging birdies on the fourth and fifth holes and bogeys on the 10th and 11th holes, but changed the flow to birdies on the 13th (par 5) and the 16th (par 4) to promise the third round.

The 2022 LPGA Tour Rookie of the Year, Thitikul jumped to the lead with seven birdies without a bogey, reducing the number of pars by seven, and is seeking her third career win. Thitikul has no title since her debut season in 2022, when she garnered two wins.

World No. 1 Nelly Korda of the U.S. reduced four strokes and jumped to third place (6-under 138) with Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand, opening the possibility of winning six games this season. Ko Jin-young, ranking fifth in the world, tied for 15th (4-under 140) with Kang Min-ji and Alison Lee of the U.S., while Lee Min-ji of Australia tied for 25th (3-under 141) and Jeon In-ji, Kim Sei-young and Shin Ji-eun tied for 35th (2-under 142) in the second round.
