| Si Woo Kim Wins the Wyndham Championship - First PGA Tour Victory |
Si Woo Kim had a productive week at the Wyndham Championship. He claimed one tournament record, a share of another — and, most importantly, his first PGA Tour trophy.
The 21-year-old South Korean player closed with a 3-under 67 for a five-stroke victory Sunday.
He had a 21-under 259 total at Sedgefield, tying the event 72-hole record set eight years ago by Carl Pettersson.
Kim matched Pettersson by sinking an uphill 14-foot birdie putt on the final hole, then said through an interpreter that he "never expected any course record." Kim set a tournament record with a 60 in the second round.
He earned 500 FedEx Cup points and $1,008,000 in prize money in the regular-season finale.
He said he "aggressively played because (I) already made the top 125" on the points list, and that he "felt confidence — (I don't) have any fear attacking the pin." Kim became the youngest winner on tour this season.
Kim also became the eighth player from South Korea to win on the tour.
