A tie for 1st in the 3rd round of American Express

[서울=뉴스핌] Reporter Kim Yong-seok = “I’m trying to get a little more comfortable and less aggressive. That’s what I’m ready for tomorrow.”

Kim Si-woo (26, CJ Logistics) won 5 birdies without seeing them in the 3rd round of the PGA Tour American Express (total prize money of $6.7 million) held at the PGA West Stadium Course (par 72) in La Quinta, CA, USA on the 24th (Korean time). We put together and hit a 5 under par 67.

Kim Si-woo, who scored a 15-under-par 201 shot in the middle, was aiming for the championship with co-leaders Max Homa and Tony Pinau (above the United States).

In an official interview with the PGA Tour, Kim Siwoo revealed that he had’swing corrections’.

He showed a sharp iron shot, “I checked my swing with my coach last week, and made some corrections, and since then I have a nice and comfortable shot. I think it’s improved a lot. Compared to that, the putt was a little crazy, so the second half It was a pity that I couldn’t save that there were a lot of chances, but I think I’ll be able to finish it well tomorrow if I keep my sense of today while checking to make it better tomorrow.”

“I mainly check and practice the backswing and the right take-away. There was a tendency to pull it out a little inward, but I fixed this. I mainly practice small things.”

In particular, Kim Si-woo started as the lead on the last day of the Wyndham Championship last August (Sigifield CC, Greensboro, North Carolina), but ended up tied for third place.

“I didn’t play well in the last round at the Wyndham Championship at that time. I want to wait a little more tomorrow, play calmly, relax and try to be less aggressive. That’s what I’m ready for tomorrow.” Kim Si-woo couldn’t eagle with the most filling shot that day, and took the 16th hole finished with a birdie.

Kim Si-woo, who was tied for 3rd on the first day, tied for 2nd in the 2nd round, and tied 1st on the third day, is looking forward to winning the PGA for the third time. Having won his first win at the Wyndham Championship in 2016, he won two wins in the ‘5th Major Competition’ Players Championship in May 2017, the following year.

The continued increase in the green hit ratio led to the rise in the rankings. The green hit rate, which was 77.78% in the first round, recorded 83.33% on the second day and 87.50% on the moving day, showing a good trend. On this day, there were many short buddy chances due to the high green hit rate, but there were a few regrettable scenes that slightly went out of the hole cup.

Kim Si-woo, who started as a tie for second place in the 1st round, scored 2 buddies (par 4 3, par 5 5) in the first half. Starting with the 12th (par 4) hole in the second half, he succeeded in a stepping stone birdie at the 14th (par 4) and 16th (par 5) holes. In particular, after making a birdie at the eagle opportunity on the 16th hole, in the 17th hole (par 3), the birdie putt at a distance of about 1.5m turned away from the hole cup. The last hole 18 (par 4) was finished with a par.

On the other hand, Lim Seong-jae, who took 1st place alone the previous day, fell to 20th place (10 under par), such as triple bogie. As soon as I started, I did a couple of birdies in a row on the 1st and 2nd holes, but after looking at the 5th hole (par 5), I buddy on the 8th (par 5). However, on the 9th hole (par 4), he went downhill by committing a triple bogie such as falling into the water twice. In the second half, I swapped 2 buddies and 2 bogies.

Ahn Byung-hoon, 30, reduced 5 strokes to 6 birdies and 1 bogie, placing him in 13th place in the middle of 11 under par. It is 4 shots from the lead.

Ahn Byung-hoon said, “Tomorrow I think there will be a chance if the ball hits well and putts in well. I think there will still be a chance if I continue this energy by playing two birdies in the last three holes today, and if I hit it well tomorrow and go in all. I don’t have a championship, but I always believe that I will do it someday, so I wonder if there will be good results.”

Lee Kyung-hoon (30) was tied for 47th place (6 under par).
