Michael S. Kim carded a 5-under 67 in the third round of the Puerto Rico Open, jumping 26 spots up on Saturday. However, before playing his best round of the week, Kim had miscalculated his tee time, which led him to break his usual routine.
Following rounds of 72 and 68 on the first two days at Grand Reserve, Kim had a bogey-free round on Saturday, picking up five birdies to shoot 67. With 18 holes to go, he is now placed T29 at 9-under, nine strokes behind the lead.
After completing his Saturday round, the 2018 John Deere Classic champion shared the hilarious confusion on X that led him to break his usual pre-round routine. He said:
"Was in my hotel room an hour before my tee time because I calculated my tee time wrong (didn’t get my tee time until this point) and got to the course with 45 min to go when I usually get there at least 2 hrs before… which of course leads to my best round of the week so far haha"
Kim had a good start to the season with three consecutive cuts made, including a T6 finish at the American Express. However, this was followed by three straight missed cuts until this week. The Puerto Rico Open has gone well for the 30-year-old American golfer, and it will be interesting to see how he finishes on Sunday.
