C Wu Kim in Hilton Head with Justin Thomas Lurkingim from 1 Leeds |

Hilton Head Island: The Vibe et Hilton head island All is about ease and relaxation. It felt anything but RBC inherited Justin Thomas. His two-shot leads had gone into two holes, partly because he spoke of a-shot penalty on the par-5 second hole when he informed the rules that his golf ball could be slightly higher than a dimple (done).
The worst swing of the day on the 11th hole put them in shallow water inside a red danger line. He tried to play the shot and barely moved it at a distance of 15 yards, but not before the mud and the silent splashed on his face and to tell his caddy that he smells like a wet dog (she did).
“It was not worth it,” Thomas said, enough loudly to listen and laugh at the gallery.
Thomas finished at least the day on a high note, rolling in 15 -foot Birdi put on 18th. C wu kimWho played bogie-free till the last hole in Harbor Town.
By then, Kim still enough to post a 5-under 66 and take a-shot lead on Thomas (69) and Andrew Novak (66).
“When you win the golf tournament, you need to overcome a low-round round when you do not have your best stuff,” Thomas said.
“I just fought and tried to be patient and then I was able to get a score where I am there tomorrow.”
Kim did not have a peaceful feeling when he first moved towards T, two behind Thomas and without winning in two years.
“It’s been some time to play in the final group, so it sounds strange. Then perhaps a little pressure,” Kim said.
“No pressure, it looks strange in the beginning.”
He started a Burdy-Burdi to catch Thomas. He took the lead when Thomas made his mud -filled exploits on 11th and made a bogey. Kim increased the lead as three shots until it suddenly fed up again.
Novak ranked Par-3 17th to complete his bogie-free round. And there was a two-shot swing from the final group when Kim was reduced by 18th green and simply in danger, from here we recalled and recalled equal put out of Mangald grass.
“I played fantastic – only missed the last hole, so it’s not a big deal,” Kim said. “So I play a lot of 35 holes that are really civilized. So I am not going to worry about the final hole for tomorrow. I’m in good condition. I’m playing well.”
And Thomas made his Birdi.
“It was very big,” he said. “I played really well today, really solid. There was not much to show. The course is getting very difficult, very firm and fast. … Yes, it was good to see an iron shot there and it was good to see the pin-high and it was good to roll that put. It is good to finish and ride that speed in tomorrow.”
Kim 15-under was on 198.
Maverick McNealy shot 64 and alone in the fourth, two shots were behind. He was followed by former British Open champions Brian Harman (66) and Tommy Fleetwood, who had three beats in their last six holes for 68.
defending champion Scotty chefler There was a thick stretch on the back nine that derailed his speed, although he still managed 68 and was very high in the game, which was out of only four shots.
Chefler hit a brilliant escape from trees, the ball never achieves a height of more than 10 feet at a distance of 160 yards, but it was very strong and rolled against a bunker lip, making it no shot. He had to make an 8-foot put to overcome the bogey.
He went for a long time of green at number 12 and left himself a sharp pitch (bogie) and then hit a dubbing veg at 3 feet number 13 on the bunker and recalled the put.
The weather is getting hot and curved day by day, which is sufficient to make fast and crisp and adequate movement in trees to estimate something else. Less scores are available. Players do not take much to lose speed.
This is a signature event in which there is no cut and the scoring average is the same in about three days. It is a case of being on a roll, which puts it and which limits mistakes.
For so much Saturday, he was Kim.
He opened with a pair of 6-foot Birdi puts. He handled Par 5S. His longest Burdy Put Par-5 was on 15th when he came out of the situation and had to make him 18-footer.
Thomas says that he is capable of ending his three -year drought and instead of forcing the issue, just needs to put forward the tournament. It was only 69, but was important for him because he managed a round under the summary when it felt that nothing was going right, except in the end.
