Lim Jin-young (22, Daebang Construction) jumped to second place alone by four strokes from the lead in the third round of the KLPGA Tour Deokshin EPC Championship (total prize money of 1 billion won), signaling competition for the championship on the last day.
At the third round of the championship held at Kingsdale Golf Club (par 72, 6,725 yards) in Chungju, North Chungcheong Province on Wednesday, Lim Jin-young had six birdies without bogey, reducing his six-par difference. He has a four-par total of four-par 212, four-par difference from first-runner Kim Min-sun of eight-under 208.
If Lim reduced one more shot on the day, he could have set his own record of the smallest round of the regular tour and tied the course record (7 under par) at Kingsdale GC. It was regrettable that he failed to make a birdie putt at the 18th hole (par 5).
"Rather than thinking about the record, I had a desire to make a birdie because the last hole was a short par-5 hole. The third shot was shorter than I thought, but I still had chances, so I looked carefully at the green, but I was a little confused. But I missed it when I hit it hard by referring to the player's putt. It was a shame," Lim said.
He said, "The shot was shaken a lot until the second round because of the wind, but there were many chances in the third round because it wasn't windy during the game. He also said, "Thanks to my good putting, I was able to achieve satisfactory results." 카지노
Lim is aiming for his first win in the regular tour. "I think I will feel more pressure tomorrow than today, but I will try to play as I can without being as nervous as possible," Lim said. The key is to maintain a good sense of putt as he did in the third round."
Kim Min-sun 7 (Daebang Construction), who is also trying to win her first regular tour by a four-shot lead, said of her determination on the last day, "There is a little difference in at-bats (a four-shot lead), but since this is also decided tomorrow, I will play 18 holes with one stroke and one stroke precious."
