By reducing three strokes to one, he hit a total of 24 under par 260 and entered overtime with Jessica.
Jessica’s ball from the first stroke hit the hook line a little, and was sucked into it and became a birdie, but Daniel Kang’s ball flowed down the hole and failed the birdie.
Daniel Kang, who played without a look for three days, became her first painful look at the 15th hole. Was it such an influence? On the 16th hole of 272 yards where 1 on is possible, the swing flow was fast, and the ball was pushed to the right and into the rough. The ball that was shot the second time in response to relief did not get onto the green. He caught the putter and blocked it with a wave, but Jessica Coda caught the birdie and became a hit.
