The BMW Championship, the second round of the PGA Tour Playoff, is being held at Castle Pines Golf Club (par 72) in Castle Rock, Colorado for four days from the 23rd (Korea time).Lim Sung-jae, who is trying to win his first PGA Tour title of the season, tied for third at 6-under on the first day.
In an interview after the first round match, Lim Sung-jae said, "I had a little difficulty calculating yardage because of the high altitude of the course. In the second half, I played hard because of the wind," but added, "But I think I was able to finish well because I had a good start from the beginning."
"I hit the tee shot at the third hole, and it fell too close to the tree. When I had to hit the tree, I was able to hit the shot and finish with a birdie. That was my best shot of the day," Lim said."I have to calculate the yardstick and lose 10 percent when I play because of the height difference this week," Lim said. "However, Will (Caddy) will help me this week, and he was my colleague who played in the conference tour with me. He also leads me well, especially when I have a hard time reading the green. I think he helps me a lot when I putt."
When asked about the course, Im Seong-jae said, "Overall, there are a lot of downhill runs and uphill runs in the second half. It is physically difficult to walk in the second half. I feel a little short of breath when I walk uphill, maybe because of the high altitude. Other than that, it is okay."
