The world of golf was beside itself late Saturday night time.
LIV Golf was wrapping up its Adelaide occasion in Australia which meant for some late-night watching, by no means a foul factor, and we have been handled to fairly the present.
Anthony Kim, the person who stormed onto the skilled golf scene initially virtually 20 years in the past, was within the hunt for his first skilled win since 2010 (what was the Shell Houston Open on the time). He was battling in opposition to Jon Rahm of all folks to get it… getting back from something isn’t a straightforward chore.
Kim was exceptional in his Sunday spherical in Adelaide as he went 9-under to safe a 3-stroke victory.
Kim’s return to the winner’s circle is nothing in need of exceptional. In his time between skilled wins he battled damage and substance abuse. He has been vocal about how turning into a father modified his perspective on life at giant… seeing him embrace the second like this was a win for mankind.
Because the motion unfolded golf followers everywhere in the world have been glued into seeing Kim’s last stretch. It was a crescendo that by no means ended and that he’ll bear in mind endlessly.
Whereas Kim took dwelling the person title at LIV Golf Adelaide it was Rippers GC who gained as a group. Cam Smith, their captain and a proud Australian, spoke about Kim’s victory and what it meant for golf, LIV, and the whole lot:
“It’s so good. If it wasn’t one in every of us this week, to have him win right here in Adelaide at our premier occasion is fairly cool. I’m so glad for him. He’s labored onerous. I truly performed with Anthony his first spherical again in Saudi a number of years in the past, and it was scrappy to say the least, and I used to be very skeptical initially. However what he’s been in a position to do over the previous couple of seasons and dig deep and grind out after which do what he did at present is fairly particular. Congrats to him. I’m so glad for him.”
Congratulations to Anthony Kim.
