Mikumu Horikawa was standing alone on the top of the leader board, but he literary became "alone" when Ho-Sung Choi withdrew due to his right leg injury. First it was Jumbo Osaki on the Day 1, then Ho-Sung Choi. Now there was only Mikumu left in that grouping for the last 6 holes.

He made 6 straight birdies from his starting hole on Day 1 and his momentum continued today, even in the pouring rain condition. He made a rocket start of birdie, eagle, birdie on Day 2.
"I thought I might do the 6 straight again today, but I couldn't finish off the 2 birdie chances on 4th and 5th."

But Mikumu was able to make birdie on 6th and he recalled "just as good as yesterday".
Would he keep the solo journey to stay on the lead and leave the rest of the crowd behind?
