(CNA Reporter Li Chien-chung, Taipei, 18th) The second round of the LPGA LA Championship concluded today. Taiwanese golfer Chien Pei-yun shot a 71, tying for 29th place with a two-day total of 140, 4-under par. She and Hsu Wei-ling successfully advanced to the final two days of the tournament.
The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) rekindled its battles in Los Angeles this week. The LA Championship, with a total purse of $3.75 million (about 118.05 million NTD), featured Taiwanese competitors including Tseng Ya-ni, Hsu Wei-ling, Chien Pei-yun, Cheng Ssu-chia, and Hou Yu-sang. Unfortunately, after the first two rounds, only two advanced.
Chien Pei-yun, who shot a 69 in the first round, played a somewhat frustrating game today. Although she had no bogeys across 18 holes, she only managed to make one birdie on the 7th hole. She parred the remaining 17 holes, preventing her score from dropping further.
Today, Chien's driving accuracy was 71.4%, and her greens in regulation rate was 83.3%. Both were decent performances, but unfortunately, she needed 33 putts throughout the round.
Hsu Wei-ling, who also advanced tied for 39th place, made 4 birdies and 1 bogey today, posting a stellar 69. This is Hsu's 7th tournament this year and the 5th she has advanced in, ending her streak of being eliminated in the past two consecutive tournaments.
Unfortunately, Tseng Ya-ni, who made a strong comeback this season, missed the cut by just 1 stroke with a total of 143. Additionally, Hou Yu-sang and Cheng Ssu-chia shot 144 and 152 respectively, and were also eliminated.
At the end of the first two rounds, South Korean player Kim Sei-young, who shot 65s on two consecutive days, took the sole lead with a total of 130, one stroke ahead.
The full name of the LPGA tournament is the "JM Eagle LA Championship presented by Plastpro." It has been title-sponsored since 2023 by Taiwanese businessman Walter Wang, son of Formosa Plastics founder Wang Yung-ching.
