So, Michael Kim went wire-to-wire at the FedEx Open de France. Started strong, apparently. Ended stronger. Some golf snobs will call it a masterful display. Me? I'm calling it Tuesday practice for someone who actually knows how to swing a club.
He finished at minus-eight. His closest followers, Matteo Manassero and Matt Fitzpatrick, ended up two shots adrift. They were probably dreaming of a Sunday comeback. That's the kind of optimism that trips you up every time in this ridiculous game. Always chasing that mythical comeback.
Kim wins. It’s his first DP World Tour trophy. Big deal, I suppose. Means he gets a slightly less dented parking spot for a few weeks and maybe a fresh sleeve of balls. The rest of us will keep searching for that magic bullet. It’s not in the driver, it’s not in the putter, and it’s probably not even in those eye-watering lessons. But hey, at least Kim’s got a reason to practice his French.
