(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi In-young = Lim Seong-jae (23) succeeded in entering the top 10 in the Honda Classic (total prize money of $7 million)’Moving Day’, the first title defense match of the U.S. Professional Golf (PGA) tour.
In the third round of the tournament held at the PGA National Golf Club (par 70/7,125 yards) in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on the 21st (Korean time) on the 21st (Korean time), Lim Sung-jae tied 4 birdies, 1 bogie, and 1 double bogie to par 1 under par. I hit 69.
Lim Sung-jae, who recorded 205 strokes in the middle of a 5-under par, raised the ranking by nine places from a tie of 16th the previous day to a tie of 7th.
Amid the windy weather, on the moving day, where the rankings fluctuate, the leader was changed from Aaron Wise (USA) to Matt Jones (Australia, 10 under par 200 strokes), and Lim Seong-jae pursued Jones by five strokes to see the possibility of winning the reversal. Left.
Im Seong-jae, who won the tournament last year and won the first PGA tour, will challenge for a second straight victory this year.
Im Seong-jae, who replaced the birdie on the 3rd hole (par 5) with the bogie on the 5th hole (par 3), changed the mood by making a 4.5m birdie putt on the 6th hole (par 4).
Im Seong-jae, who continued on the rise by putting a 7.5m birdie in the second half of the 12th hole (par 4), grabbed an additional birdie in the 14th hole (par 4), and once tied for fifth place and climbed.
However, he lost 2 strokes by being caught in a’trap’ at the last minute. There are many pitfalls such as bunkers and water hazards, so the tee shot was stuck in the bunker at the last hole 17 of the 15-17 holes called’bear traps’, and the second shot was sent to the rough, writing down the double bogie.
Lim Seong-jae went out of the fairway with both the 18th hole (par 5) and the tee shot, but he blocked well with a par and managed to enter the final round while maintaining the top 10.
For the situation on the 17th hole, Im Seong-jae was disappointed that there was a mistake, although there was a mistake because there was a high risk of the ball falling into the water if he aimed at the green with a bunker shot.
He said, “Once you hit the green, there is a high possibility that you will fall 100% water, so I tried to prevent it from seeing safely by doing a layup.”
But overall, “It was quite windy, and the course condition and situation were quite similar to last year.”
Im Seong-jae said, “I’d rather have a lot of wind tomorrow,” he said. “That’s because everyone is playing hard.”
He showed confidence, saying, “If I play well for a day tomorrow, I think I can compete for the top level enough.”
Jones, who set a course record tie record (61 strokes) in the first round, tied three buddies and two bogies to reduce one stroke and rise to the sole lead again.
Wise shook with a 5-over par of 75 strokes, but the ranking went down only one place to a tie for second place (7 under par, 203 strokes). JB Holmes (USA) is also tied for second place.
Judge Zup (Taiwan), Cameron Trungali (USA), and Sam Ryder (USA) are ahead of Lim Sung-jae with a tie for fourth place (6 under par 204 strokes).
