(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Fuan-Hyun Lim = Byung-Hun Ahn (31) revealed the possibility of winning the PGA Tour for the first time by taking the lead in the third round of the opening match of the 2022-2023 season of the American Professional Golf Tour (PGA) and placed 4th by just two strokes.

Byung-Hun Ahn carded 4 birdies, 1 bogey, and a double bogey in the 3rd round of the Fortinet Tour PGA Championship ($8 million total prize money) held at Silverado Resort & Spa (par 72, 7,123 yards) in Napa, California on the 18th (Korea time) Hit a 1-under-par 71 with one.

Byeong-Hun Ahn, who recorded a total of 11 under 205 over three days, finished the third round in only 4th place, two shots behind leader Justin Rohr (USA).

Ahn Jae-hyung, son of ‘Korean-Chinese table tennis star’ Ahn Jae-hyung and Ahn Byeong-hoon, son of a married couple, will challenge for their first PGA Tour title in this tournament.

After losing his PGA Tour card after the 2020-2021 season, Ahn Byung-hoon, who spent a season on the second tour, won the Konferi Tour, the second tour in February, and rejoined the PGA Tour after a year.

Byung-Hun Ahn took the lead by reducing by three strokes with four birdies and one bogey until the 15th hole (par 3), but it was a disappointment to record a double bogey due to chasing a sudden shot on the 16th hole (par 5).

Byeong-Hun Ahn, who broke two strokes in the first half, dropped his tee shot 2.5 meters short of the hole on the 15th hole and calmly made a birdie putt, boosting his momentum.

However, on the 16th hole, the second shot crossed the line and was penalized by one stroke, and on the fifth shot, after putting the ball on the green, he scored twice with two putts.

Kim Seong-hyeon, 24, who was playing for the first time on the PGA Tour, picked up five birdies that day, but recorded two bogeys and one double bogey, hitting a 1-under 71.

Kim Seong-hyun, who shot a three-day total of 7-under 209, entered the final in a tie for 17th.

Kim Seong-hyun, who finished the first half with four birdies and one bogey, was 3 under par, and his iron shot was shaky in the second half.

On the 11th hole (par 3), he put the ball on the green on the 3rd shot and recorded a bogey, and on the 13th hole (par 4), he put the ball on the green on the 4th shot and recorded a double bogey.

Roar, who did not win on the PGA Tour, dropped three strokes to five birdies and two bogeys on the day and took the lead with a three-day total of 13-under-par 203.

Next, Max Homar (USA), who won the competition last year, and Danny Willett (England), the 2016 Masters champion, finished the third round in a tie for second place at 12 under par 204.
