Kim's Lead Shrinks: Scheffler & Clark Close In
24 May
Summary
- Si Woo Kim maintains a two-shot lead heading into the final round.
- Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark are close contenders.
- Kim previously held a five-shot lead after round two.
Si Woo Kim, a Dallas resident, will enter the final round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with a two-shot lead. He had previously built a significant five-shot advantage after two rounds. However, his lead narrowed on Saturday due to several bogeys.
Defending champion Scottie Scheffler and 2023 U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark are positioned as key challengers, both sitting two shots behind Kim. Clark expressed his enthusiasm for the competitive pressure, anticipating a day filled with aggressive play and birdie opportunities.
Other notable players like Sungjae Im, Stephan Jaeger, and Tom Hoge are also within striking distance. Zach Bauchou and Brooks Koepka are also in contention, with Koepka seeking his first win since returning to the PGA Tour.
Kim noted that he was focusing too much on scoring early in his third round but aimed to regain his previous day's form. Clark made a notable scrambling birdie on the 12th hole, while Scheffler seeks his 21st tour win.
