View original image[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is a breather for No Seung-yeol (31).
On the 19th (local time), No Seung-yeol finished even par on the third day of the PGA Tour RSM Classic (total prize money $8.1 million) held at the Sea Island Resort Seaside Course (par 70, 7,005 yards) in St. Simons Island, Georgia, USA, dropping to a tie for 17th place (10 under par 202 strokes) along with Collin Morikawa (USA) and others. Patrick Rodgers and Ben Martin share the lead (14 under par 198 strokes), while Andrew Putnam and Sahith Theegala (both USA), and Adam Svensson (Canada) are tied for third place (13 under par 199 strokes).
No Seung-yeol started tied for 7th place, 2 strokes behind, recording 3 birdies, 1 bogey, and 1 double bogey. He faltered with a double bogey on the 2nd hole (par 4) due to a '3-on 3-putt'. He recovered the lost strokes with birdies on the 4th and 7th holes but lost another stroke on the 9th hole (par 4) after sending his tee shot into the water hazard. He then parred the next 7 holes before securing a valuable birdie on the 17th hole (par 3). He is 4 strokes behind the joint leaders, still in contention for his second career win since the Zurich Classic victory in April 2014.
