Last year at the Genesis Scottish Open, Kim began his ascent to stardom. He finished third in the event and got high coverage. And now after a year, things have changed completely for the young golfer. This year the Scottish Open is turning out good for him. He started with a career-best 61 on Thursday and in the third round, he made a birdie on the par-5 10th hole.

He is playing well and in fact, made a fairway shot but despite showing excitement he quickly walked away. The moment was shared by the PGA Tour on their Instagram page.

About playing at the event, Kim had some nice things to say “I like this place. I obviously had good memories last year. After the season ended last year, I was really looking forward to coming back. This course really suits my eye. The weather needs to cooperate a bit but great feels and great momentum last year, and just trying to keep it up. It’s nice to be able to play well these first two rounds and hopefully just try to keep giving myself chances over the weekend.”
