HOYLAKE, England – Tom Kim nearly withdrew from The Open on Thursday night after suffering a grade-1 tear in his right ankle following a fluke injury at his rental house.
But good thing he didn’t – Kim shot a 3-under 68 in the second round to move safely inside the cut line at Royal Liverpool.

“I’m barely walking,” said Kim, who slowly hobbled over to the interview area, “but it’s cool that I got away with it.”
Kim said that he stepped down off his patio and slipped in a muddy spot in the grass.
