South Korea’s Kim Joo-Hyung Claims First PGA Tour Victory With Wyndham Championship Win

Kim, 20, becomes the second youngest winner on the PGA Tour since 1932.

“I stayed very patient this week,” Kim told CBS.

“Instead of getting angry and depressed I stayed in the moment and I can’t believe I won with a quadruple bogey on the first hole.

“Hopefully that doesn’t happen again but it’s definitely a week that I will remember forever.”

Kim played Sunday’s opening nine holes in 27 strokes, tying the second-lowest nine-hole score in tour history.

His victory – the first on the PGA Tour by a player born in the 2000s – means he joins the PGA Tour as a full member, having been playing since mid-July on a “special temporary membership”. It also sees him added to the FedEx Cup standings in 34th place, bumping England’s Matt Wallace out of the play-offs by a single place.
