Korea’s Tom Kim Successfully Defends Title At Shriners Children’s Open
Rocket Mortgage Classic: Korean star Tom Kim became the first golfer to successfully defend the Shriners Children's Open in 24 years after he closed with a 5-under 66 on Sunday, clinching a one-stroke win over Canada's Adam Hadwin.
The 21-year-old Kim, who shot a remarkable 62 on Saturday to earn the co-third round lead alongside Hadwin and Lanto Griffin, carded seven birdies against two bogeys to successfully defend his title at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, finishing with a winning total of 20-under 264.
The last player to win the Shriners Children’s Open in successive editions was Jim Furyk in (1998-99) and in achieving this, Kim also became the fourth youngest player in PGA TOUR history to secure three wins at the age 21 years, 2 months, and 13 days, following Gene Sarazen (20 years, 5 months, 23 days), Horton Smith (20 years, 8 months, 19 days), and Tiger Woods (21 years, 13 days).
