The third round of the KPGA Dong-A Membership Group Open was postponed due to severe weather, including heavy rain and lightning.
According to Yonhap News on the 22nd, the third round at the Sol Course (par 72) of the Solago Country Club in Taean, South Chungcheong Province, was halted at 2:50 p.m. due to intense rain and lightning. The KPGA delayed the resumption time twice but ultimately decided it was impossible to continue, pushing the remaining matches to the following day.
The tournament had already faced challenges due to adverse weather during the second round the previous day, which was interrupted by a lightning warning and only resumed at 4:20 p.m. As a result, 72 players were unable to complete their rounds that day, necessitating the continuation of the second round early on the 22nd.
Players who made the cut began the third round at 11:50 a.m. on the 22nd. However, inclement weather struck again, preventing all 72 players in 24 groups from finishing their rounds.
Consequently, the players are scheduled to complete the third round starting at 6:50 a.m. on the 23rd, followed by the final round at approximately 11:40 a.m. on the same day.
Jeong Jae-hoon, who completed three holes of the third round, is currently leading with a total score of 15-under par, while Kim Seung-min trails by one stroke.
