Kim Si-woo Finishes Tied for 6th at The Open Championship

South Korean golfer Kim Si-woo has finished tied for 6th at The Open Championship, the final major tournament of the men's golf season.
Kim shot a 2-over-par in the final round of the 154th Open Championship, held at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England, recording two birdies and four bogeys.
With a final total of 6-under-par, Kim concluded the tournament in a tie for 6th place, four strokes behind the winner, Ryan Fox of New Zealand.
Kim, who has four career PGA Tour victories, briefly held the sole lead during the final round, coming close to becoming the second South Korean player to win a major championship since Yang Yong-eun, who won the PGA Championship in 2009. However, he was unable to overcome the challenges in the final stretch.
Starting the final round in a tie for 2nd place, two strokes behind the leader, Kim surged to a one-stroke lead with consecutive birdies on the 5th and 6th holes.
However, he struggled on the back nine, recording four bogeys on the 11th, 12th, 16th, and 18th holes, ultimately losing two strokes and finishing in a tie for 6th.
Kim surpassed his previous best major championship finish, which was a tie for 8th at last year's PGA Championship, and recorded his 10th top-10 finish of the season.
New Zealand's Ryan Fox claimed the title with a final total of 10-under-par, finishing one stroke ahead of Cameron Young of the United States.
The 39-year-old veteran, ranked 56th in the world, secured a dramatic birdie on the 18th hole while tied for the lead with Young, clinching his third career PGA Tour victory and his first major title.
Im Sung-jae shaved one stroke off his score to finish at 4-under-par in a tie for 14th, while defending champion and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler of the United States, who was aiming for back-to-back wins, finished at 7-under-par in a tie for 4th.
