American Express Leaderboard: Si-Woo Kim Takes One-Shot Lead Over Scottie Scheffler and Blades Brown
In a closely contested battle, South Korean golfer Si-Woo Kim has emerged as the leader at the American Express tournament in California. Following an impressive third round, Kim has moved to the top of the leaderboard with a score of 22 under par, securing a one-shot lead over American Scottie Scheffler and teenager Blades Brown.
Kim's outstanding performance was marked by seven birdies and just one bogey throughout his round on the La Quinta Country Club course. He expressed a carefree attitude towards winning, simply enjoying the round rather than focusing on trying to secure victory. This approach seems to have paid off for him, as he now finds himself in prime position to claim his second American Express title.
In contrast, Scheffler and Brown were not far behind. The American golfer had a solid round of 68, scoring six birdies and two bogeys. Despite the challenging conditions and wind on the Pete Dye Stadium course, Scheffler remained confident about his chances for tomorrow's final round.
Blades Brown, meanwhile, showed flashes of brilliance, carding five birdies in his round, including a remarkable 44-foot putt on the 18th hole to seal his victory. However, with three more rounds left and varying courses, their true test will only be revealed at the end.
As the tournament progresses, these golfers, along with other notable competitors like Matt Fitzpatrick, Tom Hoge, and Aaron Putnam, are sure to face numerous challenges that could ultimately determine who will claim the coveted title.
