Siwoo Kim demonstrated impressive resilience down the stretch.

On June 6 (local time), at Muirfield Village Golf Club (par 72, 7,569 yards) in Dublin, Ohio, Kim competed in the final round of the PGA Tour's Memorial Tournament, which had a total purse of 20 million dollars. He recorded one eagle, five birdies, and one bogey, finishing with a 6-under-par 66. With a total score of 5-under-par 283, Kim tied for 10th place. This marks his eighth top-10 finish of the season, following his runner-up performance at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson last month.

Kim started strong with birdies at the 6th and 9th holes (both par 4), but a tee shot into the water on the par-5 11th resulted in a bogey. He regained momentum with a birdie on the par-4 13th, then climbed the leaderboard with an eagle on the par-5 15th, a birdie on the par-3 16th, and another birdie on the par-4 18th. He relied on a fairway hit rate of 71.43%, a greens-in-regulation rate of 88.89%, and 1.56 putts per hole to power his round.

The tournament victory went to J.T. Poston (USA). Although he was unable to improve his score in the final round, which allowed Ryan Gerard (USA) to catch up and tie at 12-under-par 276, Poston secured the win with a par on the second playoff hole at the 18th. This marks his fourth career PGA Tour victory since the Shriners Children's Open in October 2024, earning him a winner's prize of 4 million dollars (approximately 6.2 billion won).

Wyndham Clark finished third (11-under-par 277), while Sam Burns (USA) and Tommy Fleetwood (England) shared fourth place (10-under-par 278). World No. 2 Rory McIlroy (USA) carded a 4-under-par for the round, tying for 13th place (4-under-par 284). World No. 1 and defending champion Scottie Scheffler (USA) also finished in this group. Sungjae Im lost a stroke and ended the tournament tied for 32nd place (2-over-par 290).
