On the 5th (Korean time), on the 3rd day of the tournament held at the Grand Reserve Golf Club (par 72, 7,506 yards) in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, Noh Seung-yeol scored 3 under par with 1 eagle, 4 birdies, 1 bogey and 1 double bogey. I hit 69.

Noh Seung-yeol, who recorded a total of 8 under par and 208 strokes over the three days, started the final round on the 6th with a tie for 19th place.

He is only one stroke behind the players tied for 10th, so he has a good chance of entering the ‘Top 10’.

The last time Noh Seung-yeol finished in the top 10 at a PGA Tour event was a tie for 5th at the Wells Fargo Championship in May 2017, nearly six years ago.

This season, the best result was a tie for 15th at the RSM Classic in November last year.

Nico Echavaria (Colombia) took first place alone with 17 under par 199 strokes, and Carson Young (USA) took second place alone by two strokes with 15 under par 201 strokes.
