Min Woo Lee falls just short at the Scottish Open, finishing runner-up to Tom Kim, but leaves North Berwick with real confidence heading into the Open Championship. Quinn Croker and Cameron Percy also impress in strong Australian weeks.
Tom Kim’s patience finally pays off, ending a 1,001-day wait for a tour win with a final-round 64 at the Genesis Scottish Open. Australia’s Min Woo Lee pushed him all the way, finishing runner-up at 15 under.
Tom Kim’s bogey-free final round at the Scottish Open was built on elite tee-to-green golf. Here’s a full breakdown of his winning bag, from his new Titleist driver to the putter behind all four of his PGA Tour wins.
The PGA Tour’s regular season finale may not carry the same drama as in years past, as the reconfigured autumn schedule now serves as the true last-chance saloon for tour cards. But what’s at stake this week at the Wyndham Championship is arguably more important than ever.
With 144 holes of golf remaining before the playoffs commence, here’s a look at some key players and what these next two weeks – and beyond – could mean to their ambitions and playing status.
Golfers of all stripes can identify with Tom Kim and the execution—or lack thereof—of his opening tee shot Saturday in the third round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Everyone gets a little shaky and doesn’t put their best swing on the ball.
Kim made it a point to seek out Furyk and Schauffele to explain exactly what he meant by his comments, and he revealed what he said to them in the International team’s post-Presidents Cup press conference.
Tom Kim’s theatrical performance at the Presidents Cup may have worn thin with American fans. But according to Kim, it’s the US side that crossed a line.
The sweep marked the fifth time that one team shut out the other in a session and the result each time has been the Americans wielding the brooms. The last time it happened also came at Royal Montreal in 2007. So much for hostile.
In its 30-year history, the Presidents Cup has been woefully short of indelible moments and surprises. Kim, at the very least, provides a wrinkle to the proceedings.
