Tom Kim defends title at Shriners Children’s Open
Tom Kim of South Korea poses with the trophy after putting in to win on the 18th green during the final round of the Shriners Children's Open at TPC Summerlin on Oct. 15 in Las Vegas.Tom Kim now has something in common with Byron Nelson as the only players to have won the same PGA Tour event twice in the same season.
“I really felt confident in myself,” Kim said. “I knew that if I did me I was going to be able to do it. I’m stoked to get this one.” Taylor Pendrith was tied for the lead with a birdie on the 13th, but had to settle for pars the rest of that stretch. K.H. Lee made all pars. It turned on the par-5 16th. Kim hit to the fat of the green in two, 50 feet away for eagle. Hadwin knew he missed his shot right after contact and it came up well short and into the water. Hadwin missed a 6-foot par putt after his penalty drop, and Kim three-putted – he had to make a 5-footer on his third one – for par.
That gave Kim a two-shot lead with two to play, and he closed with solid pars. Kim finished at 20-under 264.
