Lim has hit 28 of 28 fairways and is the only player in the field to go bogey-free through the first two rounds at LPGA International Busan.

"I'm a player that needs to start off well. So I really focus on my first and second holes. And I think once you play well in your first two holes, then you're at an ease for the following holes. So I think that worked well today. And in terms of the course itself, I think we can get an opportunity to snatch many birdies here. So I tried to aim for that. So I tried to work on my shot. ”

“Actually I did have some birdie chances in the beginning; however, I misread the break, and that led to some missed s hots. However, in hole 6 and 7, I was to read the break well, and I think that worked well altogether.”

“So yesterday it was raining. So that made the play very tough. But the weather was much better today,” said Ko. “I think I was able to play well. But yesterday I didn't play as well as I had expected. However, today I started off in 10, so I think that kind of relieved my pressure as well. So my swing went well, my putting went well, and overall that made me able to snatch many birdies.”
