(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kwon Hoon = Revived Kim Si-woo (26) challenges to win the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour for two weeks in a row.
The stage will be the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $7.5 million), which will be held at Torrey Pines Golf Club (par 72) in La Jolla, California, for four days starting on the 29th (Korean time).
Kim Si-woo, who was evaluated as having regained his performance when he won the Players Championship four years ago by winning the American Express on the 25th, is an opportunity to rise to the second win of the season, which he has never tried.
If you maintain the exquisite iron shot and the feeling of putting that rose up in the fourth round of the American Express, you can also aim for a win for two weeks in a row.
However, players who are more powerful than the last tournament must be beaten.
Unlike American Express, where only one player in the world rankings ranked 10 or less, Farmers Insurance has a lot of tough opponents.
Yon Ram (Spain), the second place in the world ranking, who skipped the American Express due to a minor injury, is on the way.
PGA Tour.com placed Ram on the top of the nominations for the championship.
Although the world ranking was pushed to the 7th place, Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) has a clear presence. McIlroy finished the warm-up, finishing third after winning the previous Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.
Zander Shopley (USA), number 6 in the world rankings, was born and raised in San Diego. After graduating from San Diego until college, Torrey Pines Golf Club, a municipal golf course in San Diego, is bright. However, in the recent 5th Tory Pines contest, 4 cuts were eliminated and’knowing is sick’.
Mark Leishman (Australia) aims for a second straight victory.
Rounds 1 and 2 are played back and forth between the South Course and the North Course, followed by Rounds 3 and 4 in the South Course.
The South Course, which holds the US Open this year following 2008, is about 3 strokes more difficult than the North Course.
That’s why we need a clever play that keeps the number of at-bats low in the North Course and keeps the number of at-bats in the South Course.
Kim Si-woo will play in the South Course for the remaining three days to play the first round on the North Course.
Lim Seong-jae (23), who is ranked 17th in the world ranking, is also looking to win.
PGA Tour.com placed Lim Seong-jae in 13th place, higher than Kim Si-woo (15th).
The eldest brothers Choi Gyeong-ju (51), Kang Seong-hoon (35), Ahn Byung-hoon (31), Lee Gyeong-hoon (31), and Noh Seung-yeol (30) will also participate in the senior stage.
Choi Gyeong-ju has a lot of ties to the course, winning runner-up twice in 2014 and 2016.
Tiger Woods (USA), who took eight trophies at Torrey Pines Golf Club, including 7 Farmers’ Insurance Opens and 1 US Open, chose this place for the first year of the year, but this year, he suffered back surgery and does not participate.
