Kim Si-woo (26), who is challenged to win four wins in the US Pro Golf (PGA) tour, started smoothly with a tie for 22nd on the first day of AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (total prize money of $7.8 million).
In the first round of the tournament held at Pebble Beach Golf Links (par 72), California, USA on the 12th (Korean time), Kim Si-Woo combined 5 birdies and 1 bogie to write a 4 under par 68. Leading Patrick Cantle (USA, 10) It is tied for 22nd, six shots behind (under par 62).
Kim Si-woo showed a pleasant start by catching birdies one after another in the first hole (par 4) and the second hole (par 5). In the 5th hole (par 3), the tee shot fell into the bunker, causing a bogus, but the successive birdies continued on the 6th hole (par 5) and 7th hole (par 3).
However, in the second round, he couldn’t reduce the number of strokes. He added a birdie on the 13th hole (par 4), but after that, it was only a 5th consecutive par.
Cantley, who competed in the American Express competition last month, which Kim Si-woo won, took the lead by catching 10 birdies without seeing it. Jordan Spice (USA) also topped the list with 7 under par 65.
Other Korean players struggled. Choi Gyeong-ju (51) was tied for 75th with an even par 72 strokes, and Kang Sung-hoon (34) and Noh Seung-yeol (31) were tied for 97th with a 1-over par 73.
