Michael Kim had been imagining what a breakthrough win on the US PGA Tour would look like for a while now. But the former college player of the year at Cal-Berkeley never envisioned it ending like this: an eight-stroke win after posting a John Deere Classic 72-hole scoring record of 27-under 254. Of course, the 25-year-old will take the stress-free Sunday any time, along with the “Major” extra that the victory – a spot in next week’s British Open at Carnoustie. It will be his first Major-championship start as a professional after finishing T-17 at the 2013 US Open at Merion as an amateur.
Kim’s victory makes him the 21st person to make the John Deere Classic the site of his first US PGA Tour title.
In addition to the Open invite and the two-year exemption on tour, Kim also earned a healthy $US1.044 million. How much money did everyone in the field at TPC Deere Run? Here’s a breakdown for all those who made the cut.
