(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Korean-American Kevin Na (38), a Korean American Pro Golf (PGA) Tour Sony Open (total prize money of 6.6 million dollars), sharply aimed for a total of 5 wins by wielding 9 strokes on the third day.

Kevin I hit a 9-under-par 61 at the 3rd round of the Sony Open held at the Waialay Country Club (par 70) in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA on the 17th (Korean time), sweeping 1 eagle and 7 birdies without seeing it.

Kevin Na, who tied for second place with Joaquin Neiman (Chile), recorded 194 strokes in the middle of the 16-under par, and followed Brendon Steele (192 strokes in the US, 18 under-par), who took the lead by reducing nine strokes on the same day.

Kevin I, who had a career of 4 wins on the PGA Tour until the opening of Schreiners Children’s Hospital in October 2019, had the opportunity to add a multiplier in about 1 year and 3 months.

In the 2020-2021 season, a tie for 13th in the Masters Tournament in November last year was the best.

Kevin, who started the third round with a tie for 19th, I pre-heated with a buddy of the first 2nd (par 4) and 4th hole (par 3), and dropped the second shot from the 9th hole (par 5) to about 2.5m. The momentum was raised by taking advantage of this opportunity.

After entering the second half, he continued his excitement with a continuous birdie on holes 11-14.

Afterwards, Kevin, who defended the par, I put the third shot in the last hole 18 (par 5) about 2m and cut one more stroke.

In the third round, Kevin I only kept half of the 14 fairways but missed the green three times and hit 25 putts.

Steel, Kevin Na, and Neiman behind Stuart Sink (USA) were tied for 4th place (15 under par 195 shots), and Daniel Burger (USA) at 9th place (14 under par 196 shots) in the lead and 4th place. Four people climbed, and fierce competition for the top was unfolded.

Among Korean players, Kim Si-woo (26) was tied for 23rd (11 under par, 199 strokes), ranking the highest.

Kim Si-woo, who was tied for 35th in the second round, skipped more than 10 steps by thinning out 5 buddies without seeing. It is 7 strokes from the lead, and 3 strokes from the tied ninth place.

Choi Gyeong-ju (51), who was in 15th place the previous day, only reduced one stroke and fell to 39th place (9 under par 201).

Lee Gyeong-hoon (30) also tied for 39th place with Choi Gyeong-ju, and Lim Sung-jae (23) finished the third round with a tie for 60th place (6 under par 204 strokes).
