US Open a fairly clean ride for Tom Kim on moving day

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:53:28 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tom Kim’s last big plunge into the major-championship spotlight was a muddy mess. This one — crisp and clean for a while, but stained by a rugged finish.The 20-year-old, who became a meme after his waist-high wade into the mud while looking for his ball at the PGA Championship last month, was on record-setting pace Saturday at the U.S. Open before things started to unravel. He tied a tournament record by shooting 29 over nine holes, and added another birdie on No. 10 to get to 7-under par for the day and 6 under for the tournament. Three bogeys on the back halted his momentum and turned moving day into a bit of a bummer. Even so, Kim shot 4-under 66 and closed the day at 3-under 207. With the leaders on the front nine, the South Korean player was on the leaderboard, too — tied for 12th, 36 places better than where he started.“At least I kind of have a chance to have a good finish tomorrow,” Kim said. Billed as the toughest test in golf, the U.S. Open is not ...

HOUSTON (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds fully embrace their underdog status after losing 100 games just a year ago.
