[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] "Tied 16th → Tied 9th."


It is the leap of Lee Kyung-hoon (30, CJ Logistics·photo) and Kyle Stanley (USA). On the 25th (Korean time), at the Avondale Louisiana Golf Club (par 72, 7,425 yards) in Avondale, Louisiana, USA, during the third day of the PGA Tour Zurich Classic (total prize money $7.3 million), they shot 8 under par in the four-ball format (where two players each play their own ball and the better score is chosen), raising their position to tied 9th place (15 under par 201 strokes), 4 strokes behind the leaders.


The '2-person team' battle uses four-ball format, and the final day will be played in foursomes (alternating shots with one ball) to determine the winner. Lee Kyung-hoon and Stanley started tied 16th, 6 strokes behind, and collected 9 birdies (1 bogey). They gained momentum with consecutive birdies on holes 1 and 2 and another birdie on hole 4, took a brief breather with a bogey on hole 6 (all par 4s), then made two pairs of consecutive birdies on holes 7-8 and 10-11. They added 'stepping stone birdies' on holes 16 and 18, finishing the round on a high note and looking forward to the 4th round.
