Philippine Golf Championship - Highlights Round 2

[Friday, February 06, 2026 15:45:09]

There was an element of nostalgia in Jeunghun Wang’s two-under-par 70. It moved him into a share of the lead on day two on five under at Wack Wack Golf & Country Club in Manila – reviving memories of his first ever appearance on the Asian Tour here 15 years ago. His compatriot Wooyoung Cho (70), Thailand’s Sarut Vongchaisit (71), the first-round leader, and Australian Travis Smyth (69) are on the same total, in the season opening event on the Asian Tour. In 2011, aged 16 and still an amateur, Wang [main picture] competed in the Philippine Open here and although he missed the cut it marked the start of his career on the international stage. He went on to win three times on the DP World Tour, one of those, the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open – a tournament joint sanctioned with the Asian Tour. Leaderboard
