On a U.S. Junior Presidents Cup roster littered with potential future stars, Bryan Kim stood out to Notah Begay III, the U.S. captain says, because of his strong wedge play.
A year later, Kim’s wedge talent was on full display as it helped the 18-year-old Brookeville, Maryland, native to victory at the 75th U.S. Junior Amateur.
Kim, an incoming freshman at Duke, posted a 2-up victory over New Zealand teen Joshua Bai, who is planning to eschew college golf, in a 36-hole final at Daniel Island Club in Charleston, South Carolina, that concluded on Sunday morning, a day later than planned, due to inclement weather.
