Why It Matters
Yu Junan only advanced in 1 stop in the first 6 games of the season. Until early August, he finished 4th at the Wyndham Championship, which was his best of the season. It was also the second time he broke into the top 10 after finishing 7th at the Texas Open in April this year.

[Reporter Wu Mengru/Comprehensive Report] Taiwanese American player Yu Junan continued his good touch in the second round of the PGA Austin Championship with a total prize money of US$6 million (approximately NT$190 million). He scored another 66 strokes and shot to second place with a score of 132, which was 12 under par in two rounds.
Yu Junan struggled a bit at the beginning of this season. He only made the cut in 1 of the first 6 games of the season. It was not until the Wyndham Championship in early August that he finished 4th, which was his best of the season. It was also the second time he broke into the top 10 after finishing 7th at the Texas Open in April this year.
Yu Junan felt hot in the first round. He made a total of 10 birdies and 4 bogeys in the game, and finally turned in the card with 66, tied for fifth place. Today he made a falcon on the 14th hole, and made another 6 birdies, made 2 bogeys, and turned in the card with 66. His ranking also skyrocketed, reaching the second place.
"If you think about this, it will indeed bring a lot of pressure." Yu Junan, who ranks 99th in the FedEx Cup Fall Championship standings, said: "But on the golf course, pressure will only be counterproductive. I try to stay true to myself on the court and focus on playing well. As long as I can continue to play well, the ideal results will naturally follow."
American player Trace Crowe temporarily took the lead after shooting 62 in the first round. However, the game was interrupted in the second round due to darkening weather. He finished 16 holes with 4 birdies and 1 bogey. He is currently in the lead and will continue playing from the 17th hole tomorrow.
