In 2008, Kim became the first American under the age of 25 since Tiger Woods to win two PGA Tour events in the same year.<\/p>\n
He was the youngest member of the United States’ victorious 2008 Ryder Cup side, taking two-and-a-half points from four matches at the age of 23 during Europe’s defeat at Valhalla.<\/p>\n
In Adelaide, he started the final round five shots behind overnight leaders Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau.<\/p>\n
However, Kim sank nine birdies in a round of 63 to finish top of the leaderboard on 23 under at Grange Golf Club.<\/p>\n
Rahm ended the event with a 71, which included two birdies and a bogey, with the Spaniard three shots back on 20 under. <\/p>\n
DeChambeau carded two birdies and four bogeys, with the American’s final-round 74 leaving him on 17 under, along with compatriot Peter Uihlein (68) and England’s Tyrell Hatton (67).<\/p>\n
“It’s been overwhelming,” said Kim. “But I’m never not going to fight for my family.<\/p>\n
“God gave me a talent. I was able to produce some good golf today, I knew it was coming.<\/p>\n
“Nobody else has to believe in me, but me. And for anybody that’s struggling, you can get through anything.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
