Spice, who started the third round as a solo leader, wrote a few examples on hole 2 (par 5), but later caught a birdie in holes 4 (par 4), 6 holes (par 5), and 9 holes (par 4) to make up for it. .

In particular, in the 6th hole, the tee shot was put on the card road and the second shot was thrown into the bunker next to the green and recorded a birdie. In particular, the bunker shot was almost connected by a shot eagle, but the ball slightly passed through the hole.

In the second half, it shook with only 3 bogeys at the 10th hole (par 4), 12th hole (par 3), and 14th hole (par 5), and went down from the leading position.

However, Spice succeeded in a shot eagle with his second shot on the 16th hole (par 4), making a reversal as he came back to the lead.

At this time, Daniel Burger (USA), who caught up as a joint leader, was shaken at the last minute.

Burger, who started in second place in the first stroke, continued to play stable with a par save after recording a birdie on hole 4 (par 4), Bogie on hole 7 (par 3), and hole 11 (par 4).

However, as the tee shot on the 18th hole (par 5) became out of bounds (OB), he was penalized and eventually finished with a double bogie, recording an even par.

Burger, Nate Lashley (US), Tom Hogi (US), Russell Knox (Scotland), and Patrick Cantley (US) are tied for second with a middle total of 11 under par 205.

Kang Seong-hoon, 34, the only Korean player to pass the cut, caught one birdie, but poured out five bogies, hitting a 4 over par 76, and a tie for 59th with a median total of 1 over par 217.
