Kim Ju-hung (24, Nike Golf) delivered a blistering performance in the third round of the Wyndham Championship, the final regular-season event on the PGA Tour with a total purse of $8.5 million, seizing a chance to win by coming from behind.

On the 9th (Korean time), Kim shot a 7-under-par 63 in the third round at Sedgefield Country Club (par 70) in Greensboro, North Carolina, recording seven birdies without any bogeys.

With a cumulative total of 15-under-par 195 strokes, Kim surged from a tie for 14th place the previous day to climb 11 spots into sole third place.

He trails the joint leaders, Michael Brennan and Bo Hoosler (both from the U.S., 16-under-par), by just one stroke, giving him a realistic chance to overturn the standings in the final round.

After birdying the second hole (par 4) on this day, Kim sank a long-distance 10.3-meter birdie putt on the third hole (par 3), trimming four strokes in the front nine alone. He continued his momentum in the back nine with consecutive birdies on holes 13, 15, and 17 to secure sole third place.

Having claimed his first PGA Tour victory at this same event in 2022, Kim now has a golden opportunity to add another win following his recent Scottish Open title.

Additionally, he has taken steps toward securing a spot in the Tour Championship, the final playoff event open only to the top 30 players, by improving his FedExCup ranking from its current position at 34th.

Lim Sung-jae (28, CJ), who competed alongside Kim, also posted five birdies and two bogeys for a three-stroke reduction. With a cumulative total of 8-under-par 202 strokes, Lim climbed 17 spots from the previous day to tie for 21st place and will aim to break into the top 10 on the final day.

Meanwhile, joint leader Brennan is aiming for his second career victory since last year's Bank of Utah Championship, while Hoosler seeks his maiden title. As Kim closes in during the final round, the question remains: who will ultimately emerge victorious?
