Billy Horschel took a hilarious jab at his PGA Tour rival's complaint of extra distance from the trailer to the clubhouse at the WM Phoenix Open. In a recent post on X, Michael S. Kim gave a detailed account of the routine on the day of the tournament.

In his post on X, Kim outlined his routine using the tee time of his upcoming Mexico Open. He shared that he finishes breakfast at 7 am followed by a short boat ride to the course at 10:15 am. He then warms up with stretching followed by an early lunch at 11 am.

Kim further shared that usually in tournaments he gets done with his lunch before the warm-up. However, he changed the order at WM Phoenix Open, as the trailers were inconveniently located. He said that the changed routine helped him to improve his performance so he decided to not change it back.
