The third round of the Volvo China Open was successfully completed. Zhang Jin, a 26-year-old golfer, set the best single-round record of the tournament with a score of 66, taking the lead with an overall score of -7. 36-hole leader Liu Yue was in second place with -6. Li Haotong pushed the Eagles in the final moments to be in 4th place with a -4 stroke.
In the traditional "mobile day", the ranking of golfers has indeed changed significantly. Zhang Jin, a golfer from Anhui, has become the most eye-catching "dark horse" today.
The organizing committee set up local rules for the selection of shifting ball positions in the first and second rounds, which were cancelled in the next two rounds. Zhang Jin made a mistake on the 2nd hole, did not pay attention before playing the second shot, picked up the ball and was fined 1 shot, helpless to hand over. He then pushed forward, grabbing seven birdies and a bogey to shoot his best of the game in three days - 6, taking the lead with a total of 70-73-66 -7.
Speaking about today's performance, Zhang Jin said: "The arena is more difficult and needs precision. I didn't make a mistake in my long pole today, the hardcore did what it should be done, and the putter was particularly good. Zhang Jin is in the dilemma of continuing to take the career path or changing to coaching this year, facing tomorrow's leading position, he believes: "I don't have too many ideas, I want to relax and play 18 holes happily, I don't care much about how much worse I play."
The focus group of liu yue, the leader of the second round, did not play well today. While pushing in four birdies, he also swallowed 3 bogeys and fell to second place with a 70-69-71 -6.
This year's double champion Chen Guxin became the only "no bogey" player today in the case of a cold, and successfully caught 5 small birds, ranking 3rd with a 71-73-67 -5 bar.
Because of his physical ailments, Chen Guxin's winning and losing heart was not too heavy: "I think +5 is acceptable." "I'm very happy with today's performance, I always tell myself not to get distracted when I play, and I'm happy to do well on the pitch." ”
WeChat signing player Li Haotong exploded +3 on the 4th hole, but it did not affect the mentality. Not only did he have seven birdies and a bogey in this round, but he also kicked off the green on the 18th hole (short par four) and pushed the eagle directly into the hole. "I kicked the ball to the left on the last hole, and because I couldn't cut it, I thought of pushing to the mouth of the hole to hit a bird, and then I didn't think it was good luck to advance."
After winning the final Eagles, Li Haotong returned to the championship group with a -4-stroke performance of 70-75-67. Tomorrow, he will strike for his first win of the year.
As a strong contender for the prize king, Liu Yanwei shot a 69-74-71 -2 shot, ranking 5th. Junichi Kuro played 73-69-73 and tied for 6th place with amateur player Ding Wenyi (69-73-73) with a -1 stroke.
Defending champion Zhang Huilin started with a bogey and finished with a birdie, tied for 12th place with a +3 stroke 75-72-72.
Volvo China Open 27-year full-time golfer Zhang Lianwei shot a 76-74-76 +10 to tie for 38th place.
According to the weather forecast, Shenzhen will cool down tomorrow with strong winds, and the players will face more severe challenges.
