AFP, Los Angeles :
South Korea’s Kim Si-Woo persevered through down-the-stretch jitters and a brief rain delay to claim his first USPGA Tour title at the Wyndham Championship on Sunday.
Kim earned his maiden win in spectacular fashion as he led the tournament since posting a course-record 60 in the second round.
He closed with a three-under 67 to run away with the title by five strokes over second place finisher Luke Donald.
“He looked like he was very much in control of his game and he was going to be a hard man to catch,” Donald said of Kim.
Kim finished four rounds at the Sedgefield Country Club course at 21 under for the 21-year-old.
Kim became the youngest international winner on US Tour since Seve Ballesteros of Spain won in 1978. Of all the places, Greensboro, North Carolina was also the sight of Ballesteros’ early career celebration.
