On the 24th, Siwoo Kim took the lead in the 3rd round of the PGA Tour American Express at the PGA West La Quinta Country Club Nicklaus Tournament Course in La Quinta, CA. Kim Si-woo, who started in second place with one stroke over the leader Im Sung-jae, hit a 5 under par 67 on the same day, with a total of 15 under par, leading to Tony Pinau and Max Homa.

Siwoo Kim climbed one step at a time to a tie for third in the first round, a tie for second in the second round, and a tie for first place after the third round. On this day, the driver and iron were very sharp. The average driver distance was 323 yards, and the green hit rate was 83%. However, I missed a few short buddy putts. He lost 1.2 strokes compared to the average of the players on the green.

JTBC golf commentator Jang Hwa-young predicted that “Siwoo Kim has a very good shot, so if the putt gets a little better, there is a high possibility of winning.” After winning the’Fifth Major’ Players Championship in May 2017, Kim Si-woo is looking for his third win in his career in three years.

Lim Seong-jae, who started as the sole leader, lost one stroke that day and was pushed to a tie for 20th place in a 10-under par. He got a birdie in the first two holes, but after missing a short putt on the 4th hole, he looked at the next hole and lost the score with a triple bogie on the 9th hole. Ahn Byung-hoon is a tie for 13th in the 11-under par.

In the official interview, Jeonji said, “The course is not difficult, but I am sorry for not being able to do many birdies. I am looking forward to the game tomorrow.”

Daniel Kang hit an 8-under par on this day to watch the LPGA Tour 6 wins. Sisters Jessica Coda (19 under par) and Nelly Coda (15 under par) chase after the second and third place.
