Juhyung Kim expressed satisfaction with finishing in the top 5.

On August 10 (Korean time), at Sedgefield Country Club (par 70) in Greensboro, North Carolina, United States, he competed in the 4th round of the Wyndham Championship, the final event of the PGA Tour regular season with a total purse of $8.5 million. Kim made 3 birdies, 1 bogey, and 1 double bogey, resulting in an even-par 70 for the day. He finished tied for 5th place with a total of 15-under-par 265. This marks his third top 5 finish of the season, including his victory at the Genesis Scottish Open last month.

Kim started the final round in third place, just one shot back, and had his sights set on a comeback victory. He stayed in contention for the title with birdies at the par-3 3rd and par-4 6th holes. However, his momentum stalled on the par-4 11th, where shots from the tee and then the fairway found the right rough, resulting in a double bogey. He lost another stroke on the par-4 14th after finding the left bunker with his tee shot, effectively falling out of the title race. Nevertheless, Kim managed to improve his FedEx Cup ranking to 26th.

Michael Brennan (USA) fired a 6-under-par 64 to secure a three-stroke victory at 21-under-par 258. This marks his second career win, coming 10 months after his triumph at the Bank of Utah Championship in October 2025, and he took home a winner's purse of $1.53 million (approximately 2.16 billion won).

Brennan had been struggling in the FedEx Cup ranks, sitting at 105th before this tournament, but surged up to 47th. He also clinched a spot in the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first playoff event for the FedEx Cup with a total purse of $20 million, which begins on August 13. Entry to this bonus event is reserved for the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup ranking.

Bo Hossler (USA), who had shared the lead the previous day, carded a 3-under-par 67 and slipped to second place at 19-under-par 261. His FedEx Cup ranking is 72nd, just missing out on the playoffs. Ben James (USA) shot a daily-best 9-under-par 61 to place third at 18-under-par 262.

Hideki Matsuyama (Japan) carded a 4-under-par 66 to finish tied for 7th at 14-under-par 266. Sungjae Im also posted a strong finish by improving by four strokes. He ended the tournament tied for 14th at 12-under-par 268, moving up four places to 53rd in the FedEx Cup standings.
