Tom Kim

ANALYSIS
It's the fourth PGA Tour victory of Kim's career and first since the 2023 Shriners Children's Open. In doing so, he became the fourth non-American to win four PGA Tour events before the age of 25, joining elite company in Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia and Hideki Matsuyama, per Golfweek. Kim spent most of the tournament at the top of the leaderboard thanks to his five-under 65 opening round and entered Sunday in the top-5. He saved his best round for last, steadily carding birdies en route to a bogey-free, six-under 64 to leap the likes of Robert MacIntyre and Matt Fitzpatrick to the top of the table. Kim's short game really stood out, converting on 12 of 13 scrambling opportunities to lead the field at The Renaissance Club, which minimized his mistakes (his three bogeys were the lowest of the tournament). His iron game was also superb, as he finished second in the field in SG: Approach, gaining 8.13 strokes in that category. He also ranked T2 in GIR, ninth in SG: Off-the-Tee, T11 in birdies made and in the top-20 in both driving accuracy and SG: Putting. Kim has the wind behind his sails heading into The Open Championship next week, where he finished T2 in 2023 before missing the cut in each of the last two years.
