(Sports Seoul | Reporter Kim Min -kyu) Taegeuk warriors begin to fight back at the same time in the stage ‘John Dear Classic ($ 8.4 million)’ where you can confirm the possibility of new players of the US professional golf (PGA). Kim Si -woo (30), Lim Sung -jae (27, CJ), and Kim Joo -hyung (23, Nike) will participate in the competition and are aiming for rebounding and ‘D -Open’.

The John Dear Classic will be held at TPC Dear Run (par 71) in Silvis, Illinois, USA for four days from the 4th (Korea time). This competition is considered to be a representative competition where ‘young blood’ can grab the opportunity. In particular, in addition to the D -Open Championship, the middle -class players who are in desperate need of the FedEx Cup playoffs can earn points. It is also a great opportunity for the three musketeers to rebound.

Kim Si -woo played in 21 tournaments this season and scored 10 times, but the trend has slowed recently. In the previous tournament, the rocket classic, the cut dropout (84th) and the Travelers Championship were abstained with back pain after the first round, causing concern.

The top one who passed the cut among the John Dear Classic participants will be given the right to participate in the D -Open. Kim Si -woo has no right to participate in the D -Open. To win the right to play, this competition is actually the last game. Attention is drawn to whether Kim Si -woo will be able to win a sluggish escape and the right to participate in the D -Open with a hot championship.

Kim Joo -hyung is in a swamp of sluggish this season. Although the US Open was tied for 33rd place, it was likely to rebound, but it is shaking again with the Travelers Championship 45th and Rocket Classic Cut. Currently 90th FedEx Cup ranking. If you fail to enter the 70th place until the end of the regular season, the first playoffs will be played. For Kim Joo -hyung, this competition is actually a crossroads of fate.

Lim Sung -jae was ranked 12th in the PGA Tour. There is a good memory of last year’s 12th place (20 under par). Although there have been somewhat ups and downs, the top ranking is stable with the world’s 25th place and the 24th FedEx Cup ranking. However, if you look at the tour championship, it is time to reverse the atmosphere. John Dear Classic can be a turning point in the rise.

Joe is also interesting. Kim Joo -hyung has made a group with Australia’s Carl Philips and Colombia’s Nicole Varia, and Kim Si -woo and Lim Sung -jae are competing in the same group as the Stephen Ager of Germany. As all three players play with their own goals of the D -Open Ticket, the playoffs, and the atmosphere reversal, the tournament is more than just the middle and lower stage.

Domestic fans will be able to watch their challenges with real -time live broadcasts through Sporty Golf & Health and OTT platform Sportybi Naw from 5 am on the 4th. kmg@sportsseoul.com
