Wang Jeonghun Drops to 57th... Campillo Leads

Qatar Masters Day 3: Lara Sabal at +1 Over Par, Tied 5th in Pursuit of 2nd Win, Moon Kyung-jun Ranks 62nd

[Asia Economy Golf Specialist Reporter Kim Hyun-jun] Wang Jeong-hoon (25, photo) remained tied for 57th place.

On the 8th (Korean time), at the Education Golf Club in Doha, Qatar (par 71, 7,307 yards), during the third day of the European Tour Commercial Bank Qatar Masters (total prize money $1.75 million), he recorded 1-over par to complete 2-under par 211. Despite operating 'needle-like iron shots' with a green hit rate of 83.33%, his putting faltered, resulting in four bogeys (three birdies). The disappointment was greater considering this tournament is the promised land where he secured his third European Tour win in 2017.

Jorge Campillo (Spain) surged with 4-under par to take the solo lead by one stroke (14-under par 199). He is the player who earned his first victory at the Hassan II Trophy in April last year. David Drysdale (Scotland) is tied for second place (13-under par 200). Pablo Larraz?bal (Spain), who won the 2020 season opener Alfred Dunhill Championship last December, is tied for fifth place (11-under par 202) eyeing his 'second win opportunity.' From Korea, Moon Kyung-jun (38) is tied for 62nd place (1-under par 212), and Lee Tae-hee (36) is tied for 70th place (even par 213).
