[Jung Woo Ham](https://www.inkshares.com/books/manager-ryu-joong-il-it-s-unfortunate-to-judge-lee/book_segments/-it-s-unfortunate-to-judge-lee-lee-as-difficult-to-digest-as-a-s) tied for third place in the season finale 2R.

Jeong-woo Ham, who is chasing the Korean Professional Golf Association's (KPGA) Korean Tour Genesis title, chipped away at the lead on the second day of the LG Signature Players Championship, the final event of the 2023 season.

Ham carded three birdies and two bogeys for a 1-under 70 in chilly conditions in the second round of the tournament at Seowon Valley Country Club (Par 71) in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, on Tuesday.

With a 4-under-par 138, Ham is tied for third place, two strokes behind leader Shin Sang-hoon (6-under-par 136).

The previous day's leader, [Choi Min-chul](https://wiki.fablabbcn.org/User_talk:Slotplayground4), dropped one shot to second place (5-under par 137).

After being unable to complete his first round due to heavy rain on the ninth, Ham dropped another stroke over the remaining three holes before entering the second round.

After dropping two strokes in the first half of the second round, Ham sent his tee shot into the rough on the 11th hole (par-4) and had to make bogey with his third shot to get his ball on the green.

At the 16th (par-5), he put his third shot 65 centimeters from the hole and made birdie to close the gap. But a 1.8-meter par putt on the 17th (par-3) dropped him a stroke.

After parring the 18th (par-4), Ham finished the tournament needing only a third-place finish or better to claim the grand prize.

The lack of success by other Grand Prize contenders also eased the pressure on Ham.

Second-place finisher [Lee Jung-hwan](https://images.google.ge/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fslotplayground.com%2F) slipped to the bottom of the leaderboard with an 8-over-par 150.

Third-place finisher Park Sang-hyun is in a tie for 19th place with an even-par 142.

Hwang In-chun received an SUV as a prize for his hole-in-one.

Hwang In-chun made a hole-in-one on the 194-yard, par-3 13th hole to win a sport utility vehicle (SUV).

"There was a headwind, so I hit it lightly with a 4-iron, and the ball landed in front of the pin and rolled away," Hwang said.

With a median score of 1-under par 141, Hwang is tied for 14th place.

The 61-player field will play four rounds with no cuts. [슬롯사이트](https://www.slotplayground.com/safety-slotsite/)
