NAGOYA, Japan -- South Korean golfer Kim Joo-hyung, a four-time PGA Tour champion, holds a one-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Asian Games men's golf tournament. On Friday, he posted a five-under 65, including five birdies, an eagle, and two bogeys during the third round at Kasugai Country Club East Course in Kasugai, Japan, just northeast of Nagoya. Kim's overall score of 12-under 198 puts him one shot ahead of Wang Wei-Hsuan of Chinese Taipei and Kazuki Higa of Japan, who are both at 11-under 199.
Team South Korea's Kim Seong-hyeon and Mun Do-yeob, also from LIV Golf, are tied for eighth and 14th respectively after shooting 69, while Mun has already completed his military service obligation. Both Kim Joo-hyung and Kim Seong-hyeon, aged 24 and 28 respectively, are eligible for military service exemptions through a team or individual gold medal, which would allow them to continue their careers overseas uninterrupted.
