GREENSBORO, N.C. – Si Woo Kim took dead aim during the third round of the Wyndham Championship, and now he’s in position to win the event for the second time in four years.
Kim started the day in a four-way tie for the lead, but he broke free with an ace on the par-3 third after jarring an 8-iron from 161 yards.
He nearly repeated the feat a few holes later, as his 5-iron from 197 yards on No. 12 danced around the hole before settling just beyond it.
He ended up 14 inches away from joining Brian Harman (2015 Northern Trust) as players to have two aces in the same competitive round, and he leads by two shots after carding an 8-under 62.
