Golfers will enter the second day of competition with more pressure as the tournament applies the qualifying cut.

qoute The championship race in the women's table
After half of the second day of competition, the championship race gradually took shape in the women's group, with Chuc An leading with a total score of +4, followed by Gia Han (+5), Khue Minh (+6) and Thao My (+7). However, the situation would change very quickly when the female golfers all showed great determination in the final holes.
Following Le Chuc An to cheer at the 2025 National Golf Championship is Ms. Tran Thi Len, mother of the 2024 female champion. According to Ms. Len, Chuc An has matured and become stronger than a year ago, thereby having a good start in this year's season. Although the journey is still very long, Chuc An still needs to maintain focus and stable performance in the next holes and rounds.
qoute Concerns arise on hole number 16
On the cut-off day, the par-3 16th hole of FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon is becoming a big concern for golfers. Up to now, there has been only 1 birdie while there are many bogeys and double bogeys. As one of the two holes with a direct view of the sea (the other is the par-4 13th hole), hole 16 has a beautiful landscape but also receives the most wind, which greatly affects the shots. In addition, this hole has a tee shot from above, so it is difficult to calculate the exact direction and speed of the wind. An imperfect shot can send the ball into the sand trap, the rough on both sides or slide back, making it very difficult to save.
It took 7 strokes to complete hole 11, causing Yang Jung Soo to lose the lead, but the next 4 consecutive holes kept par, helping the golfer born in 2002 continue to be in the leading group of the race.
Mr. Nguyen Thai Duong - Deputy General Secretary of Vietnam Golf Association, Tournament Director, Permanent Deputy Head of the Organizing Committee of the National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025, inspected the organization work.
The first two days were full of emotions for Nguyen Duc Son.

Among golf techniques, sand hitting is a difficult technique, always challenging the golfer's level. However, golfers who possess a skillful sand shot always have an advantage on the course and create professionalism in the eyes of their opponents.

This was Gia Minh's 6th bogey of the day, causing the 16-year-old golfer to return to the first place in the men's group with Yang Jung Soo when both had an even par total score.
report Determine wind direction and speed on the field
Normally, the wind at high altitudes will be stronger than the wind near the golf course because there is no resistance from trees. In a situation of strong wind, conquering 18 holes of golf in this case requires the golfer to skillfully adjust the way he plays to get the desired ball path. The simplest way to check the wind direction on the course is to cut a small piece of grass and drop it at face level. Winds at 180 degrees and winds at 70 degrees both have certain effects on the golfer's swing.

Despite a bogey at hole 16, Do Duong Gia Minh came back strongly with two consecutive birdies at holes 17 and 18. The 16-year-old golfer is putting a lot of pressure on the rest with a total score of -2.
Using Distance Measuring Devices allows golfers to know how to accurately adjust from the position of the golf ball to the flagged hole, the slope of the course terrain. Popular distance measuring devices today include laser rangefinders or GPS. Using a rangefinder is an easy way for golfers to determine terrain parameters and confidently execute and align shots. Especially in tournaments at new golf courses that golfers have not had the opportunity to experience before.
Mr. Do Thanh Viet - General Manager of FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon, excitedly said that it seemed that on the second day of competition, the golfers were more familiar with the course as well as the competition atmosphere, so the results were quite good with many birdies scored.
