Kim Sei-young, the world's 10th-ranked golfer and second-highest among South Korean women, struggled in the first round with a tied-89th finish at 2-over 74. She faced serious concerns about making the cut.
However, Kim rallied in the second round of the LPGA Tour Fortinet Founders Cup at Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club (par 72) in Menlo Park, California, on Sunday. She shot 2-under to finish tied for 56th at even-par 144, clearing the cut line. Without her birdie on the final 18th hole (par 5), she would have missed the cut. She made it by the narrowest of margins.
