Sixteen-year-old English amateur Kris Kim shines at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, prepares for GCSE exam

Sixteen-year-old English amateur Kris Kim continues to impress at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson on the PGA Tour, shooting his third consecutive under-par round and coming close to a hole-in-one in Texas. Kim, the youngest player to make the cut on the PGA Tour since 2015, showcased his talent with a one-under 70 on Saturday, following a three-under 68 and a four-under 67 in his previous rounds.

Despite his young age, Kim displayed maturity on the course, picking up four birdies on his front nine after an opening-hole bogey. His short game proved to be a key asset, helping him make up for any shortcomings with his irons. Kim’s performance has been nothing short of impressive, and his parents watched on with pride as he nearly aced the par-three fourth hole.

After his final round on Sunday, Kim will fly back to Surrey to prepare for an English exam next Thursday. This remarkable achievement on the PGA Tour comes after his stellar performance at the Junior Ryder Cup last September, where he played a crucial role in Europe’s victory over the USA.

Fans can catch Kim in action in the final round of The CJ Cup Byron Nelson live on Sky Sports Golf on Sunday. The coverage begins at 1pm, with full coverage starting at 6pm. Kim’s journey as a young golfer has captivated audiences, and his potential is undeniable as he continues to make waves in the world of golf.
