Johnson’s third shot chase… Kyung-Hoon Lee and Sung-Hoon Kang are the lowest ranked
–
Sam Burns (USA) kept the top of the leaderboard on the third day of the Genesis Invitational (total prize money of $9.3 million) of the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour, which was disrupted by a strong wind.
On the 21st (Korean time), the Riviera Country Club (par 71, 7,322 yards) of Pacific Palisades, California, USA, tied 1 birdie and 3 bogies to the 13th hole and lost 2 strokes.
Burns, who took the lead with 12-under-par 130 strokes until the second round, maintained the sole lead by recording a 10-under par until the third round was stopped due to sunset.
On this day, the game was stopped for about 4 hours due to a strong wind and then resumed.
Burns and other champion Joe players were delayed from the start of the third round, leaving five holes in the end.
Burns aims to win the PGA Tour for the first time in the remaining rounds of the third and fourth rounds.
Burns, ranked 149 in the world rankings, has won the second part of the 2018 tour once, and on the regular tour, the best performance is a tie for third at the Sanderson Palms Championship in October 2018.
Even after the resumption of the day, while the players had a hard time reducing the number of strokes, Burns lost one stroke in the first half by viewing the 8th hole (par 4), and the tee shot on the 10th hole (par 4) fell into a long bunker next to the green, but the bunker shot was holed Attached to about 1 meter, it recorded the only buddy.
Afterwards, it was unfortunate for Burns that the gap between the pursuits and the pursuits decreased with the 12th and 13th holes (par 4) in a row.
