Tom Kim Carrying Momentum Into Byron Nelson
2 years agoDespite somewhat of a lull to start the 2023 campaign, Tom Kim has found some vintage ball-striking form at two consecutive big courses. A T23 at Quail Hollow and a T16 at Augusta National certainly surpassed many pundits' expectations for the 20-year-old, and perhaps more excitingly, we're beginning to see some real progress in Kim's quest for distance. Kim drove the ball further at Quail Hollow than at any other previous start, and the rest of his game seems to be rounding into form along with his driver, as he gained over nine shots from tee to green on the week. If these trends continue, there's no reason why the Korean star can't improve on his 17th-place finish here at Craig Ranch last year.
