CHARLESTON, S.C. – A birdie on the 35th hole of the 36-hole championship match helped propel Duke men's golf incoming freshman Bryan Kim to the 2023 United States Junior Amateur Championship title on Sunday morning. With his 2UP victory in the 75th iteration of the U.S. Junior Amateur, Kim earns an exemption into the 2024 U.S. Open, held at Pinehurst No. 2, and both the 2023 and 2024 U.S. Amateur Championships.
"It really hasn't sunk in yet," said Kim. "Especially coming into this week, I hadn't made a cut at a USGA event, but to not only make the cut but win all six of my matches, especially against all these great competitors, it just means the world.
