Joo-Hyung Kim, PGA Tour JoJo 3R Championship tied for 26th

Joo-Hyung Kim tied for 26th in the third round of the Jojo Championship on the US PGA Tour.

Kim Joo-hyung shot 3 under par 67 with 5 birdies and 2 bogeys in the third day of the tournament held at Narashino Country Club (par 70, 7,41 yards) in Insai, Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

Kim Joo-hyung, who recorded a total of 5 under par 205 over three days, finished the third round in a tie for 26th with American Xander Shopley and others.

He is nine strokes behind Ricky Fowler of the United States, who leads the solo 14-under.

Kim Joo-hyung, who achieved two tour victories in the PGA Tour Schleiners Kids Open Championship, which ended in Las Vegas on 10th, tried to win the championship for the second week in a row with three victories in this tournament, but it was difficult to win the championship because of the big gap with the leader.

Fowler, who has not won a championship since February 2019, climbs to the top solo one shot ahead of Keegan Bradley and is trying to win six on tour.

Si-woo Kim recorded a total of 4 under par in the third round and tied for 31st with defending champion Hideki Matsuyama (Japan).

Kyung-Hoon Lee is tied for 47th at 2-under, and Seong-Jae Lim is tied for 52nd at 1-under.
