Matthew Cheung leads the Link Hong Kong Open at 14 under after round two. A 62 put the Hong Kong player three strokes ahead of Caleb Surratt.
Thursday had looked different: Cheung opened with 64, while Anirban Lahiri and Kevin Yuan shared the lead with 62s. Both first-round leaders made nine birdies and one bogey.
The event runs from 22–25 October at Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling. This is its 65th edition, offering a $2 million purse over four rounds of 18 holes.
Major opportunities are also at stake: the winner qualifies for the 2027 Masters. The leading player who makes the cut and is not already exempt earns a place in The Open.
