Kim Si-woo is in contention for his third consecutive title on the PGA Tour after finishing the third round of the WM Phoenix Open tied for second, just one shot behind the leader.
Kim Si-woo continues his pursuit of excellence on the PGA Tour, finding himself in a strong position at the WM Phoenix Open after a commendable performance in the third round. Played at the TPC Scottsdale course in Arizona, Kim achieved a round score of 5-under 66, balancing one eagle, four birdies, and a bogey, which places him in a tie for second with a cumulative score of 12-under 201, just one stroke behind Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, the current leader at 13-under.
This marks the third consecutive tournament where Kim Si-woo has been a contender, having finished tied for second at the Farmers Insurance Open and tied for sixth at the American Express. His consistent performance showcases his impressive form since the beginning of the season, where he initially tied for 11th in the Sony Open, suggesting that he is at the peak of his game, ready to chase down another title.
Should Kim secure a victory in the final round, it would be his fifth career win, a noteworthy achievement considering his last title came over three years ago in January 2023 at the Sony Open. Alongside Kim in the hunt for the title are Maverick McNealy, Nicolai Hojgaard, and Ryo Hisatsune, while world number one Scottie Scheffler trails in a tie for 16th position.
