Kim shot a five-under 65 with five birdies, one eagle and two bogeys on Friday in the third round of the competition at Kasugai Country Club East Course in Kasugai, just northeast of the main host city of Nagoya. At 12-under 198 overall, Kim leads Wang Wei-Hsuan of Chinese Taipei and Kazuki Higa of Japan by one shot. A second member of the South Korean team, Mun Do-yeob of LIV Golf, is tied for eighth at eight-under after shooting a 69. Kim Seong-hyeon, who rounds out the trio, is tied for 14th at two-under following his own round of 69. South Korea is also leading the team standings, where the two best scores for each team are added after every round, at 20-under. Japan is right behind at 19-under, with China and Chinese Taipei at 18-under. Kim Joo-hyung, 24, and Kim Seong-hyeon, 28, will receive military service exemption either with a team gold or an individual gold, which would set them up for uninterrupted touring careers overseas.
