Siwoo Kim, jointly lead 3R in PGA’s youngest passing course

-Kim Si-woo (26, CJ Logistics, photo) challenges his third victory in his career at a place with a special relationship.

On the 24th, Siwoo Kim took the lead in the American Express on the third day of the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour held at the PGA West Stadium Course (par 72) in La Quinta, California. In the third round on this day, Kim Si-woo won 5 buddies without a look, recording a 15-under-par 201 shot in the middle. It is tied for first place with Max Homa (31) and Tony Pinau (32 and above).

The PGA West Stadium Course, where the tournament is held, is an unforgettable place for Kim Si-woo. In 2012, he tied for 20th at the last qualifying school, setting the record for passing the youngest PGA tour (17 years, 5 months and 6 days). In this place with good memories, Kim Si-woo tries to win after 3 years and 8 months. Kim Siwoo previously raised trophies twice at the Wyndham Championship in August 2016 and the Players Championship in May 2017.

Kim Si-woo, who started off happily after winning a birdie in the third hole (par 4), continued to play flawlessly. The green hit rate recorded 83.33%, and the game was stable. He took a second shot from the 16th hole (par 5) with the 5th wood at a distance of about 2m and took the opportunity to eagle, but it was regrettable that he could not play as the sole leader after finishing with a birdie. After the game, Kim Si-woo said, “The shot was good overall, but compared to that, the putt was not crazy, so I couldn’t save a lot of opportunities. If I continue my senses today, I think I can finish with good results.” Siwoo Kim will play the final 4 rounds from 4 am on the 25th with Houma and Pinau. Lim Seong-jae (23, CJ Logistics), who was the sole leader of the second round, lost one stroke with one triple bogie, three bogies, and five birdies, and fell to a tie for 20th place (10 under par 206 shots).
