Park In-bi (33, KB Financial Group) continued to rise on the third day of the American Women’s Professional Golf (LPGA) Tour, which first participated in 2021, and took the lead alone.
On the 28th (Korean time), in the 3rd round of the KIA Classic (total prize money of $1.8 million) held at Aviara GC (par 72, 6690 yards) in Carlsbud, California, USA, 4 birdies and 1 bogie were tied together and 3 under par 69 strokes. I wrote it down.
Park In-bi is 5 strokes ahead of the second place group (209 strokes at 7 under par) with 204 strokes in the middle total of 12 under par.
Park In-Bee has not yet won the KIA Classic, but showed off strong aspects such as runner-up in 2016 and a tie for second in 2019. This time, we are aiming for the first championship of the tournament and the 21st win in the LPGA tour.
Park Inbi was not shaken even in the third round. He caught a birdie in the 5th hole (par 5) and the 7th hole (par 4) and took a good flow.
He committed a bogie on the 11th hole (par 3), but made up for it as a birdie on the 13th hole (par 4). In the 17th hole (par 5), after a successful 3 on, he added a birdie with one putt.
Park In-bi failed to 2 on the last 18th hole (par 4), but succeeded in putting the approach shot close to the hole cup, ending the round with a par.
Korean players other than Park In-bi continued to play. Mi-jeong Heo (32, Daebang Construction) was tied for second place with 209 shots at 7 under par, reducing 5 shots that day. Ko Jin-young (26, Solaire), the world’s No. 1 player, is tied for 5th with 6 under par 210 strokes, and Kim Hyo-joo (26, Lotte) is tied for 8th with 5 under par 211 strokes.
