Jeon Inchi (27, KB Financial Group) maintained the top spot by performing well in the third round of the Diamond Resort Champions Tournament ($1.2 million in total prize money) in the opening game of the 2021 season of the American Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour.
In the third round of the tournament held at the Four Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando (par 71, 6645 yards) in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA on the 24th (Korean time) on the 24th (Korean time), she tied 5 birdies and 1 bogie to write a 4 under par 67.
Jeonin-in ranked fourth with a total of 13 under par 200 strokes. It’s 8 shots against Daniel Kang (US, 21 under par 192).
Jeon In-ji, who participated as a winner of the 2018 KEB Hana Bank Championship, is making up for the sluggishness of the past two years at the first tournament in 2021. Last August, after the AIG Women’s Open (joint 7th) in the major tournament, they aim for the top 10 in 5 months.
In the third round, Jeon-in caught a birdie from hole 1 (par 4). Then he succeeded in birdie on the 4th hole (par 4).
Jeon In-ji, who reduced two strokes in the first round, faltered from the 12th hole (par 4). However, after that, the round ended by recording buddies one after another in the 14th hole (par 3), the 16th hole (par 4), and the 18th hole (par 3).
After the 3rd round, Jeon Inji said, “There were three or four shots that stopped at the green edge because of the desire to leave an uphill putt by attaching it to the pin. It was a day that I couldn’t make a buddy,” he said. “(In the fourth round) I will face the game,” he said.
Daniel Kang, a Korean-American, has maintained the single lead position for 3 consecutive days from the first round. Daniel Kang caught 8 birdies without a look on this day and drove 8 under par 63 strokes. It is two strokes ahead of Jessica Coda (US 19 under par 194 strokes), who placed second alone with 21 under par 192 strokes.
Park Hee-young (34, Isu Group) and Heo Mi-jeong (32, Daebang E&C) stagnated in the third round. Losing one stroke, he tied for 21st with a middle total of 1 under par 212. Heo Mi-jeong, who could not reduce the number of strokes in the third round, is tied for 23rd with an even par 213.
