On the 27th (Korean time), the World Golf Championship (WGC) Series Workday Championship (total prize money of $10.5 million) continued at the Bradenton Concession Golf Course (par 72/7474 yards) in Florida, US (2 under par, 142 strokes). ‘Phoenix Open Champ’ Brooks Kepka (USA) drove a 6-under par and took the top of the leaderboard (11 under par 133 shots) at once, and three others, including Colin Morikawa (USA), tied for second place in the first stroke (10 under par 134 shots) In pursuit.
Im Seong-jae tied 3 buddies, 3 bogies, and 1 double bogie. Starting from the 10th hole (par 4) and cruising with 2 buddies and 1 bogie, the second half of the second hole (par 4) double bogie was braked. The second shot at 174 yards flew to the greenside bunker and failed to escape, resulting in a ‘4 on 2 putt’. As the iron shot swayed, I had a hard time seeing again in the 3rd and 4th holes. It is fortunate that the atmosphere was changed with the last 7th hole (par 5) buddy.

Kepka is on the rise after conquering the Phoenix Open on the 8th. Out of the 8 wins in his career, the major was a whopping 4 wins, and the nickname was “major hunter”. By winning the FedEx Saint Jude Invitational in July 2019, he showed off his strong side in a special match. After knee surgery in December of that year, the presence of treatment and rehabilitation disappeared, but after 1 year and 7 months, it returned to the top, boasting the status of’No.
Billy Horshall (USA) and Cameron Smith (Australia) joined the tie for second place, and Tony Pinau tries to escape ‘2nd place Jinx’ from a tie for fifth place (9 under par 135 strokes). On the 31st of last month, at the Farmers Open and on the 22nd, at the Genesis Invitational, he has been in second place in a row. Defending Champ Patrick Reed tied for 8th (8 under par 136 shots), Justin Thomas (above the United States) and Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) tied for 13th (5 under par 139 shots).
‘Hulk’ Bryson DeChambo (USA) was tied for 20th place (3 under par 141 strokes) with an 8-under-par daily best. It is worth noting that the maximum hit of 343 yards was accompanied by an average of 1.33’salt water putts’ per hole. Sweeped 9 buddies (1 example). World ranking 2nd place John Lam (Spain) tied for 43th place (even par 144 strokes) with a 4 over par, and Dustin Johnson (USA) tied for’No. 1’also tied at 54th place (2 over par 146 strokes).
