[이데일리 스타in 주영로 기자] 2nd hitting lead, the probability of winning is 53%.
Jordan Spice (USA) won 9 wins in 17 tournaments, which ended up leading 54 holes in the PGA Tour. The odds of winning are 53%.
Spice’s PGA Tour AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am ($7.8 million in total prize money) held at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72), CA, USA on the 14th (Korean time), 3 rounds of 1 Eagle, 3 Birdies and 4 Bogies 1 I hit an under par 71. Spice, who recorded 203 strokes in the middle of 13 under par, took the lead alone, beating out a tie for 2nd place 5 players including Patrick Cantley and Daniel Burger (above the United States) by two strokes.
Spice, who played in the championships in two consecutive championships following the Waste Management Phoenix Open, wins this tournament, and will achieve 11th win in total after 3 years and 7 months since the Open in July 2017.
Spice’s chances of winning the game on the last day with a 54-hole lead are just over 50%. Recently, they have not won all three competitions, either alone or co-leader. In 2017, the Northern Trust took the lead alone, and in the 2018 Open and the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February, they took the final round with a co-leader in the final round, but they couldn’t win. It is too early to guarantee the championship, as it is only a second shot with a joint second place group such as Cantle and Burger.
However, fans are hoping that Spies will break the long-standing silence.
Spice, who debuted on the PGA Tour in 2013, was one of the next-generation stars to succeed Tiger Woods (USA), the’Golf Emperor’.
By 2017, he won 11 wins and climbed to the top of 10 wins at the age of 23 years and 11 months. Tiger Woods (15 wins) and 2 Spies are the only players who have won more than 10 wins before age 24 on the PGA Tour (after the official record count in 1983).
With her grades and excellent personality, she gained more popularity with fans.
In 2017, in the’Nice Guy of the PGA Tour’ held by Golf Digest in the United States for PGA Tour players, caddy, media, and golf officials, Spies was selected as number one.
The key is whether you can maintain the climax of the shot that showed up to the third round even on the last day. In particular, if you keep the elaborate putt, which can be said to be the exclusive patent of Spice, on the last day, the chances of winning will increase.
The drive shot accuracy until the third round was 64.29%, ranking only in the 80th place. Nevertheless, he was able to record 13 under par thanks to a 70.37% green hit rate (with a joint 20th place) and sharp putts.
In particular, his performance on the green was in its heyday, recording an average of 1.579 putts per hole during the three rounds. It is in third place overall. In addition, the number of putts per round was 26 in the first round, followed by 27 in the second and third rounds.
Spice climbed 1st to 3rd place in the’Pat at-bats’ category until 2016, then fell to 123rd place in 2018. After losing his sense of putt, he suffered a long sluggishness. The putt record at this competition shows that the old skills have been restored.
Kang Seong-hoon (34) was the only Korean player to pass the cut, but in the third round, he hit a 4 over par 76 strokes and ended up tied for 59th with 1 over par 217 strokes in the middle.
