Kim not happy going left I believe. Oh, didn’t even bounce, did it? Is it another backpack for you, Tony? I suspect it not a particularly bad lie, not a great lie. And he’s done fantastically from there to get it that close. Well, Kim should have no problem with this for the birdie, which he doesn’t. Armitage was even closer after kissing his ball and nearly going in. So, one hole ahead. Michael Kim coming off the birdie. plays quite a long way downhill this Tony. Yeah, it does. Fairway’s got quite a left to right slope in it as well. So, one bunker down the left. You want to start just inside that with a little fade and all will be well. And that is just miles. taking dead amp. Oh no. So, Michael Kim will stay just a one shot behind there. very close to where it was on day two. And we saw a lot of guys going very safe. And why wouldn’t you? Only one behind. He’s made four birdies, but he’s hold a couple of good ones. The ones he’s made have been from close range. [Applause] Back to Michael Kim here at 13. Oh, he doesn’t hit many astray, but when he does, it seems to be right. And he’s got lucky there. Kim got lucky with a T-shot. was headed way into the trees. caught them. Dropped down where the crowd are flat in the grass and hasn’t really Yeah, there’s just enough room. That’s good shot. That’s well done. This man cuts so well. You just you expect him to make these. Really does put beautifully. I don’t want to jinx him, but it’s the smoothness of the stroke. [Applause] [Music] All right, up to Kim. Well, I said his bad shots have tended to be going right. He’s overorrected and that is he’s actually asking it to go way left. He has to try and work this left to right. But like you said, Mark, with where that flag is, it’s not an easy top shot to take on. took it on with a metal wood and they’re clapping. Yeah. Well, it it didn’t quite make the green, but from where he was, that’s a a super break to even have a a shot at it. [Applause] Kim to salvage a really good pile. That’s a good up and down from below the slope. Short right. Just one behind. Michael Kim just moving along smoothly, solidly. And a good T-shot. Looking to draw this. Work it right to left. Like I said, uphill at least eight yards from here. Much better position though. No more than an eight iron. [Applause] And that was a great read from Iny there. She she read it better than Michael Kim did. So just the four which will keep him to a drift. Yeah, good par four from Kim. And you hear the cheers in the background. We know who that is. Now to Michael Kim, his second at the par five. Yeah, that was at his limit, wasn’t it? Interesting. Quite high hands here. turning the the toe in a little bit right off the back foot. So stab and run. Excellent. Made that look easier than it was. Go to Michael Kim who can tie him here with this birdie at 16. And now there are three. Oh my god. In a blink of an eye, Tony. Unbelievable, isn’t it? There’s always going to be a little bit of hustle and bustle when you’ve got this many people out there. But that was the right plan. Step away. Go through the procedure. And just a nice little fade down the left side. [Applause] Just like that. I think that was more a rescue from the top of the swing than a fade, but it it worked out okay. Co-leader Kim second here at 17. What can he produce? a little magic of his own. That’s what now back to 17 with Michael Kim chance to go one clear of them all and he’s taken it backto back birdies from the American. Well, given the circumstances, you couldn’t expect massive cheers when that went in. There’s a massive one just shy of the green here on 18. But Kim, he’s got to do what he can do, and that’s hitting the green first and foremost. Once again, left half is your target. Cannot miss this. Right. It’s left. That’s not finding the surface. shouldn’t plug. We saw a couple plug badly in there earlier in the week, but yesterday when the just just came out of its plug mark. Now, this isn’t easy for Kim. Just managed to escape getting plugged here. It’s very easy to come up about 15 ft shy with water long. [Music] Yeah, well, didn’t see. Got to give this a chance. Had a good look at Smiley’s pup, but this is a slightly different angle. It’s been seven years since his victory on the PGA Tour. Michael Kim this to post 16 under. [Applause] Does it come any more clutch than that? [Applause] That is a That is a brilliant touch. [Applause] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. [Applause] Perfect.
