Sungjae Lim made a pleasant comeback in the second round of the FedExCup Playoffs on the U.S. Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour.
Sungjae Lim carded five birdies and three bogeys for a 2-under 68 in the second round of the BMW Championship ($20 million purse) at Olympia Fields Country Club (par 70-7,366 yards) in Olympia Fields, Illinois, USA, on Monday (Sept. 19).
His four-under-par 136 total puts him in a tie for 10th place with Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele (USA). They are six strokes behind leader Max Homa (USA – 10-under 130).

After this event, only the top 30 players will advance to the season finale, the Tour Championship.

Lim dropped birdies on the second (par-4) and sixth (par-3) holes of the day before trading three birdies for three bogeys in the second half.

Ahn finished the day with four birdies and a bogey for a 3-under-par total of 137, good for a tie for 13th place.
