Almost exactly a year on from easing to a three-shot victory at the same event, it makes Kim the first golfer to defend the Shriners Children's Open since Jim Furyk in 1999, and the youngest to win three PGA Tour titles since Tiger Woods.
Eschewing the delights of Vegas strip, instead Kim finished off a white chocolate Ferrero Rocher brought over from Europe, ordering room service and setting an alarm for 3 a.m. to catch a 6:30 a.m. flight home.
Having not placed inside the top-20 at a major before 2023, Kim came tied-16th at The Masters, improved to tied-eighth at the US Open before finishing joint-runner up behind Brian Harman at the Open Championship in July. World No. 46 Hadwin had looked on course for a second PGA Tour title before disaster struck at the par-five 16th hole, his approach shot splashing into the water.
The 11-time LPGA Tour winner teed off as just the seventh woman ever to compete in a PGA Tour tournament, looking to follow in the footsteps of US compatriot Babe Didrikson Zaharias, who made two cuts in 1945.
