Former champion Kim Si-woo bounced back from a disastrous third round to finish as the only South Korean with an under-par score at The Players Championship in Florida.
Kim shot a four-under 68 in the final round of the $25 million tournament at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, on Sunday (local time), to finish at one-under overall. The 2017 champion had shot a 78 in the third round but recorded five birdies and an eagle Sunday for his best round of the tournament.
By tying for 38th place, Kim was also the best-performing South Korean at the tournament. Tom Kim shot 76 to finish at even par, which put him in a tie for 42nd. An Byeong-hun scored an even 72 in the final round and ended up at two-over par overall to tie for 52nd.
Im Sung-jae shot his second consecutive 76 to finish in a tie for 61st at six-over par.
Lee Kyoung-hoon, the fifth South Korean in the field, missed the cut.
The final round was suspended for four hours in the afternoon due to inclement weather.
Rory McIlroy and J.J. Spaun finished tied atop the leaderboard at 12-under, and their three-hole aggregate playoff will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern Time Monday. With the four-hour delay in the final round, the playoff couldn't be held Sunday due to darkness. (Yonhap)
