WATCH: LPGA major champion's controversial aimpoint movement at Honda LPGA Thailand

A Lim Kim used the AimPoint during the third round of Honda LPGA Thailand. Recently, a video went viral on the internet of the former US Women's Open winner using the AimPoint technique to feel the slope of the green before taking her shot. However, it generated a controversy on the internet as the ball was very close to the hole.

AimPoint techniques are pretty popular among professional golfers to measure the greens before taking the shot. Some renowned golfers such as Adam Scott and Stacy Lewis are best known for using it during their games. However, some believe it affects the pace of play, and in A Lim Kim's case, it brought negative reactions her way, as the ball was merely a few inches away from the hole.

An X user, Med Adkins, shared the video of A Lim Kim's AimPoint on her account. Along with the video, she also shared her opinion on the technique.

"I'm anti-AimPoint. It's a pace of play nightmare and it needs to go. That being said, watch the video and you can see A Lim step off to tap it in almost immediately before the video cuts away. Yes, it looks ridiculous, but there are far more egregious AimPoint examples out there," Adkins wrote.

Meanwhile, the 2025 Honda LPGA Thailand finally wrapped up with its finale on Sunday, February 23. This time, Angel Yin emerged victorious in the tournament after her final round of 65. She settled with a total of 28-under, registering a one-stroke win over Akei Iwai, who played the final round of 61.
