Korea’s Lion Park racked up another personal achievement at the Indonesia Pro-Am presented by Combiphar and Nomura today, notching a hole in one to pair with his albatross yesterday.
Posting a six under par 65 on the West course at Gunung Geulis in Bogor, Indonesia, he shares the lead after the second round with Sweden’s Filip Lundell in a day that was affected by a brief rain stoppage.
Holing out from 197 yards on the third hole, Park revealed after his round that this may have been his fifth tournament ace, but he was as excited as ever seeing the ball roll into the hole.
“I hit the five iron, it landed in the middle of the green and rolled into the hole,” he said. “I dropped my club, high-fived my team, I was really happy,” he added.
Lundell, making a return visit to the highland resort, added a 66 to his opening round 65 yesterday in the US$125,000 Asian Development Tour event, which is being played on the West and East courses
“It’s been wonderful so far,” he said after his round. “This is my second year playing the ADT events here and I’m becoming used to the courses now. My previous experience has really helped me this week as we are playing both of them.
“The course is playing very different from last year, we have received less rain so you can get closer to the pins but you do have to be on the correct side of the hole,” he explained.
“I’m not firing at too many pins out here,” he said. “You can hit a lot of good shots going for the pin but you can end up in a really poor position as well

“With the experience I have had in the past few years you have just got to be aggressive to your spots and then obviously make your putts. It’s easier putting uphill than downhill here so that helps a lot.
“Being a lefty some holes are really setting up good for me, and some holes are less, just like any other course. I’m looking forward to the challenge tomorrow. I like both courses pretty much equally, East and West, and it’s going to be a fun day. I am looking forward to it.”
Trailing by a single shot in a share of third place are Thailand’s Tanapat Pichaikool (64) and Malaysia’s Galven Green (64).
Low round of the day was posted by India’s Sunhit Bishnol, with a flawless nine-under-par 62, marked by two great stretches of golf.
“It was a really great round today, shot nine under,” he said after his round. “The highlight of my round was I had five consecutive birdies and then four consecutive birdies,” he added.
“I made some great putts and the ball striking was on point. The best part was I didn’t drop a single shot so I’m really happy with the bogey-free round,” he said.
Bishnol shares fifth place with compatriot and overnight leader Pukhraj Singh Gill (70), Thammasack Bouahom (65) of Laos and the Thai duo of Ekpharit Wu (66) and Chanat Sakulpolphaisan (67).
In tenth spot, Indonesia’s highest ranked player Rory Hie (69) sits on seven under par alongside Witchayapat Sinsrang (69) and Hong Kong’s Matthew Cheung (68).
After two days of shotgun starts brought on by the inclement weather, the final day tomorrow will be played on the West course in a traditional staggered start.
