Kim “Tom” Joo-hyung accelerated his meteoric rise with victory at the Shriners Children’s Open, becoming the first golfer since Woods to win twice on the PGA Tour before turning 21.
Records tumbled in Tiger Woods’ wake when the prodigious amateur turned professional in 1996 in one of the most breakneck accelerations to the summit that golf has ever seen. So when, 26 years on, a 20-year-old is matching the early feats of the 15-time major winner, it’s probably worth taking notice. Kim “Tom” Joo-hyung accelerated his meteoric rise with victory at the Shriners Children’s Open on Sunday, becoming the first golfer since Woods to win twice on the PGA Tour before turning 21.
While a 23rd place finish at the US Open in June marked an impressive showing in Kim’s fourth ever major outing, the South Korean is keeping his feet planted firmly on the ground. “Hopefully, I can have a long career, and I’ve got to work really hard – I can’t get satisfied at all,” he said. “I’ve just got to keep playing better because there’s a lot of guys who work really hard and who have achieved a lot more than me. “I’m not even close to Tiger.
