Si Woo Kim jumped into the top 10 at CJ Cup Byron Nelson after a stunning run which included 5 birdies and an eagle

In Round 2 of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson 2024, Si Woo Kim hit four consecutive birdies and an eagle in his last six holes, jumping from T75 into the top 10. Si Woo Kim has won four titles so far on the PGA Tour and is best known for winning the 2017 edition of The Masters, making him the youngest player to do so.

Last year, Si Woo Kim finished in second place, behind defending champion Jason Day. Currently winless on the PGA Tour this year, Kim is determined to clinch his first title this season.

Kim said (as per PGA Tour) before taking the field:

“I'm in good shape because I took last week off, I'm happy to be able to play in THE CJ CUP."

"I haven't always played well on this golf course, but it's nice to finish on a good note with a runner-up finish last year. This year, I will try to build on last year's performance."

According to Si Woo Kim's coach, Chris Como, Kim's aggressive swing comes from a loose grip on the handle, which helps him to rotate as much as he can and swing aggressively.
