(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Ahn Byung-hoon (30) raised the ranking in the third round of the Puerto Rico Open (total prize money of $ 3 million) in the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour.
In the third round of the tournament held at the Grand Reserve Country Club (par 72, 7,506 yards) in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico on the 28th (Korean time), Ahn Byeong-hoon thinned 5 birdies and blocked Bogie with one, hitting 4 under par 68.
Ahn Byung-hoon, who scored 142 strokes under the 2nd par and passed the cut to 51st place until the 2nd round, was tied for 22nd with a total of 6 under par 210 strokes for three days.
It is 8 shots from co-leaders Grayson Murray (USA) and Rafael Campos (Puerto Rico, 14 under par 202).
Ahn Byung-hoon participated in 10 tournaments on this season’s PGA Tour before this tournament, passed five cuts, and was tied for 8th place by American Express last month. In this tournament, we can aim for the second top ten entry of the season.
On this day, Ahn Byung-hoon boasted a particularly pleasant condition in the first half. After picking the first buddy from the 2nd hole (par 5), he reduced the number of strokes one after another as a stepping stone birdie on the 5th (par 5), 7th (par 4), and 9th (par 4) holes.
In the second half, the only example came out on the 12th hole (par 4), but the match ended with a birdie on the 17th hole (par 4).

‘Younggeon’ Kim Joo-hyung, 19, failed to keep up with the momentum of the day before.
Kim Joo-hyung, who struck a 6-under par in the second round and tied for 9th (7-under, 137 strokes), lost one stroke by tying 2 buddies and 3 bogies on this day, and was tied for 22nd place (6 under par, 210 strokes) with Ahn Byung-hoon.
Kim Joo-hyung swapped 2 buddies and 2 bogeys in the first half to keep at bat, but wrote down only one bogey in the second half.
He challenged the best of his personal PGA Tour tournament last September, surpassing the tie for 33rd in the Corales Punta Cana Resort & Club Championship.
The head of the PGA Tour, Campos, who has been in the top 10 in 2016 and 2017 at the Puerto Rico Open, cut 7 strokes and 5 strokes respectively to the top of the leaderboard.
Cameron Percy (Australia) and Brandon Grace (South Africa) were tied for 3rd place (13 under par 203 shots) with the lead, and Brandon Woo (USA), who was the lead the day before, tied for 5th place (12 under par 204 shots). It formed a close lead.
The Puerto Rico Open is an “alternative competition” held for players who did not participate in the World Golf Championship (WGC) Workday Championship (total prize money of $10.5 million), a ‘exclusive competition’ in which top players such as players within the 50th ranking in the world are all dispatched. .
