Kim Hong-taek tied for the lead by hitting 5 under par on the third day of the KPGA Tour Hyundai Marine Choi Kyung-ju Invitational.
Kim Hong-taek tied for the lead with Jang Yoo-bin, who had a 5-under 67 with six birdies and a bogey on the third day of the tournament at the Ferrum Club (par 72, 7331 yards) in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do on the 5th, and only reduced one shot on the day with an interim total of 8-under 136.
Kim Hong-taek set the stage for his second win of the season in five months after winning the GS Caltex Maekyung Open in May. "I was going to play a game that didn't lose the number of pars today, but the shot was better than I thought. As a result, I was able to create many birdie chances," Kim Hong-taek said after the game.
Kim Hong-taek, however, expressed regret over putting. He posted his second shot, which he sent to a utility club at Hole 18 (par 5), on the 1.8 meter pin, but failed to make an eagle due to mistake in putt. He thus missed the opportunity to enter the final round by leading by one stroke.
Jang had three birdies, but made a double bogey at the 14th hole (par 3), reducing his shot to one stroke. Jang had a double bogey on the 14th hole as his tee shot crossed the green and made an approach shot mistake.
"I have a good sense of shot now, so if I follow the putt, I think I will be able to win," Jang said. "I've gained experience because I've played in the championship several times. I'm not very nervous." Jang will also try to win his second title of the season in three months after winning the Gunsan CC Open in July.
Leading the prize money rankings, Kim added two under par with three birdies and one bogey to rank third with a 6-under 210 overall. The champion's group will be Kim Hong-taek, Jang Yoo-bin and Kim Min-kyu.
If Kim Min-gyu, who only won two games this season, wins, he will surpass 1 billion won in prize money for the first time in the history of the tour. Kim Min-gyu's current prize money for the season is 884.66 million won. Coincidentally, Jang Yoo-bin and Kim Hong-taek are ranked second and third in the prize money rankings. 메이저사이트
