Hyun-woo in one-shot lead at korean golf
South Korean Ryu Hyun-woo scrambled to a five-under-par 67 on Saturday to take a one stroke lead going into the final round of OneAsia’s GS Caltex Maekyung Open.
Ryu, 12 under after three rounds, got lucky when overnight leader Kim Hyung-sung (71) bogeyed the last to slip down to second place at the Namseoul Country Club on the outskirts of the South Korean capital.
Four players share third place at nine under — Kang Kyung-nam (68), Lee Kyoung-hoon (69), Kim Do-hoon (70) and reigning Kolon Korea Open champion Kim Dae-sub (71).
Defending champion Kim Bi-o is three under in 20th place after shooting a 70.
Although he had six birdies and just one bogey on Saturday, Ryu said the golf was tougher than his scorecard suggested.
“The greens were much faster today and some of the pin positions were very tricky,” the 31-year-old said.
