Description
The action continues at the Namseoul Country Club on Friday, 1 May 2026. Following an opening day where Cho Ming-yu set the pace with a 66, the primary challenge for the field in Round 2 is securing a position above the projected cut line, which historically hovers around 2-over-par at this demanding venue. The objective for the overnight leaders is to maintain their scoring momentum before the greens typically firm up and become even more treacherous for the weekend rounds.
Strategically, the goal for Round 2 is to manage the "risk-reward" holes on the back nine, specifically the par-5 14th and 16th. The tactical focus for the 88 Korean players in the field remains leveraging their familiarity with the regional grasses, while international contenders like Thailand's Pavit Tangkamolprasert look to adapt their putting stroke to the extreme slopes. With the pressure of the cut looming, the ultimate goal for the second 18 holes is to stay within five strokes of the lead to remain viable for the "Korean Masters" title.

Result Description
The second round of the GS Caltex Maekyung Open saw Cho Ming-yu maintain his strong form, carding a 1-under-par 70 to reach a total of 6-under-par (136) at the halfway point. His primary objective was consistency, which he achieved despite the increased wind speeds in the afternoon. However, the story of the day was the surge of 22-year-old Song Min-hyuk, who added a 2-under-par 69 to his opening 68. This left Song at 5-under-par overall, just one stroke behind the leader heading into the weekend.
The leaderboard remained heavily populated by South Korean talent, reinforcing the "home-field advantage" of Namseoul. Lee Tae-hee, a two-time champion of this event, remained a significant threat after a steady 71 placed him at 6-under-par in a share of the lead with Cho. Meanwhile, Minkyu Kim posted one of the rounds of the day, a 4-under-par 67, to jump into the top five. By the conclusion of play, the cut was established at 2-over-par, with several notable names, including defending champion Mun Do-yeob, safely through to the final two rounds to continue their pursuit of the KRW 1.3 billion purse.
