▲ Tom Kim during the final round
South Korean golfer Tom Kim finished tied for 5th place at the PGA Tour Wyndham Championship.
Playing the final fourth round at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, Kim shot an even-par round after recording three birdies, a bogey, and a double bogey.
With a final score of 15-under par, Kim wrapped up the tournament tied for 5th alongside Harry Hall of England.
He finished 7 strokes behind the champion, Michael Brennan of the United States, who finished at 22-under par.
Kim, who had signaled a resurgence last month by winning the Genesis Scottish Open to break a 33-month title drought, entered the third round just 1 stroke behind the leader to fuel hopes for his second win of the season. However, those hopes fell through as he failed to lower his score on the final day.
Nevertheless, recording his fourth top-10 finish of the season, Kim lifted his FedEx Cup ranking from 34th to 26th, advancing to the playoffs.
With this tournament, the PGA Tour concluded its regular season and will now enter the playoffs with the St. Jude Championship opening on the 13th, featuring only the top 0-70 players in the FedEx Cup standings.
Im Sung-jae shaved 4 strokes on the final day to tie for 14th place at 12-under par alongside players like Justin Thomas of the United States, raising his FedEx Cup ranking slightly from 57th to 53rd and securing his spot in the playoffs.
Michael Brennan, who fired a blistering 6-under par in the final round, secured the championship by 3 strokes over runner-up Beau Hossler of the United States, who finished at 19-under par.
Brennan added another trophy to his resume about 10 months after capturing his first PGA Tour victory at the Utah Championship in October of last year.
Starting the tournament at 105th in the FedEx Cup rankings, Brennan rocketed up to 47th thanks to the victory, dramatically punching his ticket to the playoffs.
