"Kim, who won the ShopRite LPGA Classic presented by ACER in June, came into this week’s Marathon Classic presented by Owens Corning and O-I having missed her last two cuts. But, as is the case with golf’s unpredictability, she fired an 8-under-par 63 (the best round of the day and tied for low round of the tournament) Sunday, and Kim put the finishing touches on a four-shot victory.
“I think today the pin positions were a little bit comfortable for me,” she said of the key to her sizzling finish. “I've been hitting little draws this week, and when the pin is tucked on the left side, I was having a hard time, but I think just knowing what I'm doing kind of helped me to plan out the round.”
Kim was bogey-free Sunday, and went out in 6-under-par 28. She said she was playing with a clear mind all day, which helped her stay focused, despite an hour-long rain delay."
“It's golf. I really didn't expect anything. Maybe I think that's why I played really well today,” said Kim “Really good names are on top of the leaderboard, and I just wanted to go out and make the most out of it, and today I was able to do that.”
It’s been a bit of an up-and-down season for Kim, as her two wins are only her second and third top-20 finish of 2017. However, she said Sunday she feels great about how her game feels heading into the final two majors.
“I'll be more confident going into that tournament. But at the same time, each tournament has a very unique style, and just getting used to the golf course and having the knowledge before a tournament starts (is important),” she said. “I think that's the key to play well. So I look forward to more opportunities.”
