Kang Sung-hoon Tied 22nd... World Ranking 773rd Brem Wins by 6 Shots

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Kang Sung-hoon (35, CJ Logistics, photo) tied for 22nd place.
On the 7th (Korean time), at the Grand Reserve Golf Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico (par 72, 7,506 yards), Kang added 2 under par on the final day of the PGA Tour Puerto Rico Open (total prize money $3.7 million) to finish tied for 22nd place (9 under par, 279 strokes). This event was a 'B-level match' held concurrently with the Arnold Palmer Invitational (total prize money $12 million). With many top-ranked players absent, expectations were high for a top 10 finish, but he remained at the same position as the previous day.
Bae Sang-moon (36, Kiwoom Securities), who aimed for a high ranking after a long time, exchanged three birdies for three bogeys and failed to reduce his score. He performed well, tied for 6th place, three strokes behind the leader after the second round, but unfortunately lacked stamina in the end. He finished tied for 50th place (4 under par, 284 strokes). No Seung-yeol (31, Givent) also finished tied for 55th place (3 under par, 285 strokes). Ryan Brehm (USA), ranked 773rd in the world, surged with 5 under par to claim a commanding victory by 6 strokes (20 under par, 268 strokes).
