South Korean golfer Kim Joo-hyung, also known as Tom Kim, defended his title at the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas on Sunday to win his third career PGA Tour title. 

Kim started the day in a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard at 15-under par and followed up with a five-under par performance on the final day to finish the tournament at 20-under-264.

The 21-year-old became just the second South Korean golfer to win a PGA Tour event in back-to-back years after Lee Kyoung-hoon won the AT&T Byron Nelson in 2021 and 2022.

With three career PGA victories, he has moved into third place on the all-time wins list among South Koreans, just behind Choi Kyoung-ju with eight and Kim Si-woo with four.

Kim Joo-hyung’s win at the Shriners also means that a South Korean has won this event for the third straight year, following Im Sung-jae in 2021.
