Golf: Korea's Kim Flies To Second Place With Superb 65 At Fortinet Championship
PGA TOUR Fall Schedule: South Korea's S.H. Kim holed out for a stunning eagle and made five birdies for a 7-under 65 at the Fortinet Championship as compatriots Sung Kang and Sangmoon Bae also enjoyed fast starts.
The 24-year-old Kim took full advantage of some wonderful ball-striking at Silverado Resort here in Napa to end the day in solo second on Thursday, with the highlight being a wedge approach shot from 106 yards that found the cup at the par-4 14th hole. He trails Lucas Herbert of Australia, who stormed to an opening 63.
Like Kim, Kang and Bae, who are both winners on the PGA TOUR, enjoyed bogey-free outings as they carded rounds of 66/T3 and 67/T9 respectively in the first event of the re-imagined PGA TOUR Fall Schedule. Japan’s Satoshi Kodaira also carded a 67.
