Incredibly, it wasn’t even the first eagle of his round. Starting on the 10th hole Kim birdied from 10-feet before holing out a greenside bunker shot on the par-5 11th for an eagle – sending him to 3 under through just two holes.
The ace came after a bogey at the 14th but when he dropped in another birdie at the par-5 1st as he made the turn, Kim sat in second place on the leaderboard. Unfortunately, he was unable to maintain the run and dropped four shots in his next three holes before righting the ship somewhat with a birdie on his penultimate hole.
Kim is just the fourth player to make two eagles in the same round on the back nine at Riviera since 1983 joining Phil Mickelson (2017 final round, 10 & 17), Sergio Garcia (2012 final round, 11 & 15) and Scott McCarron (1997 round three, 10 & 11).
Kim earned a place in THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK earlier this season but chose not to partake when the venue moved from Korea to Las Vegas, instead choosing to chase the order of merit points back home that helped him to his second car.
