KOREA — Filipino Miguel Tabuena carded a one-over-par 72 to get bunched at 26th, nine shots off American leader Han Seung-su on Saturday going into the fourth round of the Kolon The 65th Korea Open Golf Championship.
The 28-year-old Tabuena is tied with seven others with 216 total in the Asian Tour leg at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club.
The winner of last March’s DGC Open, Tabuena made 73-71 in the first two rounds.
Han also had a 72 — following his 66 and 69 in the first two days — and now stands solo at first place with 207 total.
One shot back is South Korea’s Lee Jaek-yeong who turned in a 70. Australia’s Lee Jung-seok dished out a 68, while Ian Snyman of South Africa fashioned out a 72 to share third place at 211.
Tabuena birdied Holes No. 6 and 13 but bogeyed the 2nd, 8th and 9th despite making 13 greens in regulation.
