Siwoo Kim, Barracuda Tied 37th 'Stumble'... Merritt Leads
[Asia Economy Golf Specialist Reporter Kim Hyun-joon] Kim Si-woo (25, CJ Logistics, photo) remained tied for 37th place (15 points).
On the 2nd (Korean time), during the third round of the PGA Tour Barracuda Championship (total prize money $3.5 million) held at the Tahoe Mountain Golf Course in Truckee, California, USA (par 71, 7,390 yards), he made six birdies but also recorded four bogeys and one double bogey, adding only 5 points. The tournament uses a 'modified Stableford' scoring system where an albatross (double eagle) is worth 8 points, an eagle 5 points, a birdie 2 points, par 0 points, bogey -1 point, and double bogey or worse -3 points.

Troy Merritt (USA) took the lead by 4 points (33 points), aiming for his third career win after two full years since the 2018 Barbasol Championship.

Emiliano Grillo (Argentina) and Maverick McNealy (USA) are tied for second place (29 points). From Korea, Bae Sang-moon (34) is tied for 51st place (11 points), and Lee Kyoung-hoon (29, CJ Logistics) is tied for 56th place (9 points).
