[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is a battle for victory for Lee Kyung-hoon (30, CJ Logistics).


On the 25th (Korean time), at the Twin Cities Golf Club in Blaine, Minnesota, USA (par 71, 7,431 yards), the third day of the PGA Tour 3M Open (total prize money $6.6 million) continued, and he posted 3-under par to stand tied for 12th place (9-under par 204 strokes). Cameron Tringale leads (12-under par 201 strokes), with Gary Woodland and Maverick McNealy tied for 2nd place (11-under par 202 strokes), and Cameron Champ (all from the USA) among eight players tied for 4th place (10-under par 203 strokes) in pursuit.


Lee Kyung-hoon started tied for 19th place, 4 strokes behind, and made 4 birdies (1 bogey). His concentration was evident as he reduced 3 strokes in the front nine with 'stepping stone birdies' on holes 2 and 4 and a birdie on the 9th hole (par 4). However, in the back nine, he only managed to recover with a birdie on the 16th hole after a bogey on the 14th hole (both par 4). His long drives averaged 307.2 yards, and his 'pinpoint iron shots' had a green hit rate of 76.47%. He is 3 strokes behind the leader, aiming for his second win since his first career victory at the AT&T Byron Nelson in May.



Tringale surged with a 5-under par round to quickly take the top of the leaderboard. Adam Hadwin (Canada), who was co-leader the previous day, lost 2 strokes and dropped to tied 16th place (8-under par 205 strokes). Louis Oosthuizen (South Africa) is also in this group. Kang Sung-hoon (34, CJ Logistics) struggled with 6-over par and fell to tied 67th place (even par 213 strokes). He maintained 1-under par over 17 holes but lost 7 strokes after hitting the ball into the water four times on the final 18th hole (par 5).
