World No. 18 Kim Joo-hyung takes a breather.

On the 23rd (local time), he shot a 1-under-par 70 in the third round of the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour) Cazoo Open de France (total prize money $3.25 million) held at Le Golf National (par 71, 7,249 yards) near Paris, France, maintaining a tie for 12th place (6-under-par 207). Ewen Ferguson (Scotland) and Jordan Smith (England) share the lead (13-under-par 200), with Kazuki Higa (Japan) in third place (12-under-par 201). This tournament venue will be the course for the Paris Olympics next year.

Kim Joo-hyung reduced one stroke in the third round of the Kazu Open de France and maintained a tie for 12th place.

Starting from a tie for 12th place, 7 strokes behind the leader, Kim Joo-hyung recorded 4 birdies, 1 bogey, and 1 double bogey. He started brightly with a birdie on the 3rd hole (par 5), but was set back by a double bogey on the 7th hole (par 4). He then added 3 more birdies on the 8th, 10th, and 13th holes, showing great momentum. However, a bogey on the 16th hole (par 3) was a disappointment. He is 7 strokes behind the joint leaders and 1 stroke behind the tie for 10th place.

Ferguson took control of the leaderboard with a 4-under-par 67. He has 2 career wins on the DP World Tour and is ranked 140th in the world. Smith, who led the previous day, reduced his score by 1 stroke to hold the top spot for the second consecutive day. The 'twin golfers' Rasmus Højgaard (Denmark) are tied for 6th place (8-under-par 205), and Edoardo Molinari (Italy) is tied for 25th place (4-under-par 209).
