A dramatic title defense in Las Vegas at 21-years-old, and how did Tom Kim celebrate? By heading straight back to his hotel room to finish some chocolate he had saved.
After a dramatic title defense in Las Vegas, Tom Kim celebrated by heading straight back to his hotel room and treating himself to some chocolate. One of the game’s brightest rising stars, the 21-year-old South Korean phenom came out on top in a nail-biting final round duel with Adam Hadwin to retain the Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin on Sunday, edging the Canadian by a single stroke.
“Certainly because I’m 21, I’m not the oldest guy out here, and the kids here are even younger than me. I feel like I’m kind of close in age with them, and if there’s anything I can do just to inspire one kid out there, it would mean the world. “They inspired me so much at the start of the week. I’m just really glad that I kept the trophy in my hands this year again.” World No.
