View original image[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] An Byeong-hun (30, CJ Logistics) is showing great effort.
On the 28th (Korean time), at the Puerto Rico Rio Grande Grand Reserve Golf Club (par 72, 7,506 yards), during the third day of the PGA Tour Puerto Rico Open (total prize money $3 million), he shot 4 under par to climb to a tie for 22nd place (6 under par, 210 strokes). While world stars competed in the World Golf Championships (WGC) Workday Championship (total prize money $10.5 million) during the same period, this stage offered a relatively easier competition for the win.
An Byeong-hun started tied for 51st place, 9 strokes behind, and recorded 5 birdies and 1 bogey. In the front nine, he made birdies on holes 2, 5, 7, and 9, showing a spirited performance. However, it was unfortunate that in the back nine, he only managed to recover a bogey on the 12th hole with a birdie on the 17th hole (both par 4). He relied on a ‘pinpoint iron shot’ with a green hit rate of 77.78% and an average of 1.786 ‘stingy putts’ per hole. Although he has fallen behind in the race for the win, he is only 4 strokes behind 10th place, making a ‘top 10’ finish possible.
