Tom Kim wins Shriners Children's Open for 2nd straight year
Tom Kim fended off Adam Hadwin to successfully defend his title at the Shriners Children's Open on Sunday in Las Vegas.
The 21-year-old from South Korea picked up his third career title, his 5-under 66 Sunday propelling him to 20-under 264 for the week at TPC Summerlin. Kim made three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the back nine before saving three straight pars. Hadwin was the only player going who could catch him, but the Canadian put a ball in the water on the par-5 16th en route to a costly bogey before he birdied the 18th. He signed for a 67 and finished one stroke back.
Kim was successful in his first time attempting to defend a title. He could not play in last August's Wyndham Championship while nursing an ankle injury after winning his debut title there in 2022. Eric Cole fired a bogey-free, 9-under 62 to shoot up into a tie for third at 18 under with Swede Alex Noren , J.T. Poston and Canada's Taylor Pendrith .
