Kim Primed for 4th Title
March 01, 2025
|The Straits Times
S. Korean has won the last two times she has led after the second round
With the winds dying down at the Sentosa Golf Club, the chase for top spot at the HSBC Women's World Championship came to life in the second round on Feb 28.
Day one of action at the Tanjong Course was hit by swirling winds, and a calmer second day gave the players a chance to play catch-up.
But first-round pacesetter Kim A-lim fought off stiff competition to remain the sole leader after shooting a three-under 69 for a seven-under 137 total and a one-stroke lead.
If her record is anything to go by, Kim has put herself in a good position to win her fourth LPGA title.
The past three times she led after the second round, she won twice — at the 2024 Lotte Championship and 2025 Tournament of Champions, while finishing tied-fourth at the Chevron Championship in 2023.
But the South Korean world No. 34 paid little attention to the leaderboard, saying: "I always talk about that and the result is not my goal. I just keep working on my process.
"It has always been the same thing (keeping this mindset). I already know what's within my control, so I just trust myself and hit the ball."
