Tom Kim, a 24-year-old South Korean golfer, has won the Genesis Scottish Open, ending his nearly three-year PGA Tour victory drought. Kim closed with a sparkling 64, tied for low round of the day, in the final round of the tournament.
Kim’s Road to Victory
Kim had a strong week at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland, opening with a five-under 65 in round one before firing a 66 in round two to share the lead at the halfway point of the tournament with Rory McIlroy and Jordan Smith.
Kim trailed Matt Fitzpatrick by one shot heading into round four, but the 24-year-old quickly made up the difference with birdies on three of his first seven holes. Min Woo Lee made a late charge, cutting Kim’s lead to one shot with just a few holes left, but Kim hit a beautiful approach on the par-4 16th to set up his sixth birdie of the day and ultimately put himself out of reach for the rest of the field.
