Huge logjam at the top in Cheonan, Hideki Matsuyama plays a different sport on the course and Angel Ayora chases the ace.

Here is everything you need to know from the second round at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club.

Eight-way tie at the top

Nobody could find a way out of the logjam at the top of the leaderboard ahead of the weekend as eight players shared the halfway lead in Cheonan. Sungjae Im, who won this event in 2019, had the chance after making six birdies in his second round, but bogeyed the ninth - his last - to slip back to six under, alongside compatriot Minhyuk Song, Englishman Alex Fitzpatrick and France's Tom Vaillant who were already in the clubhouse. Spaniard Nacho Elvira's second 68 of the week increased the leading group before New Zealand's Daniel Hillier and Junghwan Lee, who carded the lowest round of the day with his 65, also climbed to the summit. Joint first-round leader Haotong Li jumped to eight under after two birdies in his opening five holes, but a mixed round which saw him pick up four shots but also bogey four holes saw him remain at six under.

Hideki's slam dunk eagle

Not a bad way to start your second round! From 89 yards, Hideki Matsuyama holed out for an eagle two to return to level par following an opening 73. The Japanese star carded a 68 on Friday to climb up to one under for the tournament.

Off the green with the putter? No problem

The 2021 Masters Champion helped his cause with this stunning putt off the 14th green from long range to card his second birdie of the day.

Ayora almost finds the ace

How is your luck, Angel? We were so close to the 25th hole-in-one of the DP World Tour season at the seventh from the Spaniard.

Choi feeling chipper

Seungbin Choi looked in a tough spot at the 14th when in the rough and chipping downhill. The commentary says how hard the shot was, but the South Korean made it look easy!
