Noh Seung-yul makes cut at PGA Corales Puntacana Championship

South Korean golfer Noh Seung-yul narrowly made the cut at the PGA Corales Puntacana Championship, securing a tie for 65th place after the second round. He finished the round with a 1-over-par 73, bringing his aggregate score to 3-under-par 141.

Noh's performance secured his spot in the weekend play, a crucial step as he aims to regain his PGA Tour card. Having withdrawn from the final round of the PGA Tour Qualifying School last year, this tournament represents his fourth event of the current season. The Corales Puntacana Championship is being held simultaneously with the 154th British Open, which has drawn away many of the world's top players, creating a more accessible field for golfers like Noh.

Noh started his second round on the 10th hole and faced early difficulties, including a bogey on the 11th and a double bogey on the 12th. However, he managed to steady his game, securing his first birdie on the 14th hole. After the turn, he added another birdie on the 6th hole, interspersed with a bogey on the 5th, to ultimately achieve his goal of making the cut.

Meanwhile, fellow South Korean golfer Bae Sang-moon did not fare as well, finishing with a 3-over-par 75 in the second round. His total score of 8-over-par 152 resulted in him missing the cut. The tournament's solo leader is Todd Clements of England, who holds a two-stroke lead at 13-under-par 131.
