중국 블루 베이 LPGA에서 주말을 앞두고 한국의 이미향이 11언더파로 1타 차 선두를 달리고 있다. 이 베테랑 골퍼는 금요일 바람 부는 조건 속에서 지속되는 어깨 부상에도 불구하고 보기 없는 66타를 기록했다. 중국의 유리우가 10언더파로 바짝 뒤쫓고 있으며, 신인 선수들이 많은 필드가 토너먼트에 불확실성을 더하고 있다.
중국 하이난 섬 제난호 블루 베이 골프클럽에서 열린 블루 베이 LPGA는 2026년 3월 6일 2라운드 후 강력한 활약을 펼쳤다. 2012년 LPGA에 합류한 32세 한국 선수 이미향이 67타와 66타로 11언더파 선두를 기록했다. 이는 이 대회 7번째 출전에서 그녀의 최고 스코어다. 2017년 여성 스코티시 오픈 이후 첫 우승을 노리는 이미향은 바람 부는 조건을 효과적으로 헤쳐나갔다. “오늘 아침 바람이 예상보다 더 불었지만, 어제 오후보다는 나았다”며 “방향도 비슷해서 나에게는 그렇게 어렵지 않았다”고 말했다.
X 토론에서는 이미향의 어깨 부상에도 불구하고 보기 없는 66타로 11언더파 선두를 칭찬하며, 유리우가 강력한 라운드 후 1타 차로 뒤따르는 점을 언급했다. 베터들은 이미향에 대한 승리를 축하했으나 일부는 3라운드 선두 유지에 회의적이며 신인 다수 필드 속 후루에 아야카를 선호했다.
