With a blistering 27 on the front side on Sunday, South Korea's Joohyung Kim won the 2022 Wyndham Championship by four shots on Sunday. It's the first PGA TOUR victory of his career, and he will be added to the TOUR full-time, as well as now a part of the FedEx Cup Playoffs beginning next week in Memphis at the St. Jude Classic.
Kim turned in one of the best golf rounds that TOUR has seen. He shot a 27 on the front-nine on Sunday and that ties the second-lowest nine-hole score in PGA TOUR history. It was the first 27 on a TOUR event front-nine since Justin Johnson achieved the feat at the 2020 FedEx St. Jude Championship.
He will be exempt through the end of the 2024 and, in the short term, gets added to the FedEx Cup standings. From this win, he will be launched up the standings. He had 417 Cup points prior to this tournament and earns 500 for this weekend's victory.
Kim is the second-youngest winner on the PGA TOUR since World War II, and is the first player born in the 2000s to win on TOUR. With the victory, he finishes the TOUR regular season in 34th place on the points list. The 20-year-old is also part of the Asian Tour and the Korean Tour.
