Kim Si-woo, challenged to win the Farmers Insurance Open for two consecutive weeks… Starts on the 28th

Kim Si-woo (26, CJ Logistics) challenges to win the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour for two weeks in a row.

From the 28th (local time), Siwoo Kim will participate in the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $7.5 million) held at the Tory Pines Golf Club South Course (par 72, 7765 yards) in La Jolla, San Diego, California.

Kim Si-woo won the American Express, which ended last week, after three years and eight months, and achieved his third victory in his career. In this competition, we aim to win two weeks in a row by driving momentum.

Kim Si-woo boasted an elaborate shot with 81.94% (joint 1st place) green hit rate on American Express. It is necessary to maintain this feeling this week as well.

The PGA Tour put Kim Si-woo on the 15th place in the Farmers Insurance Open Power Ranking. The media said, “Kim Si-woo shows ups and downs. But winning the American Express was not surprising.”

However, the competition to win this event is expected to become more intense. This is because Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), who took third place in the European Tour Abu Dhabi HWBC Championship, not the PGA Tour last week will participate.

McIlroy maintained excellent performances, including a tie for eighth at the US Open last September and a tie for fifth at the Masters in November. The current world ranking has gone down to the 7th place, but it still has a great presence.

PGA Tour put McIlroy in second place in the power rankings and predicted an activity, saying, “It seems that it takes time to adjust to the environment while moving in Abu Dhabi. But in this competition, we marked a tie for fifth place in 2019 and a tie for third place in 2020.” .

Other Korean players such as Lim Seong-jae (23) and Ahn Byung-hoon (30, above CJ Logistics) also attract attention. Ahn Byung-hoon was a tie for 8th on the American Express, and Lim Seongjae was a tie for 12th.

PGA Tour put it in 13th place in the power ranking, saying, “Im Seong-jae couldn’t compete for the championship in the previous two appearances. However, he entered the top 15 four times since the Masters runner-up.”
