Want proof that professional golf keeps getting younger? Look no further than the Singapore International.
The Asian Tour stop, the penultimate event on the tour’s schedule, wrapped up Sunday at Tanah Merah Country Club with a sudden-death playoff won by a 19-year-old named after a children’s cartoon and a 14-year-old finishing third.
Joohyung Kim, also called "Tom" (after Thomas the Tank Engine), defeated Thailand’s Rattanon Wannasrichan after Kim closed in 2-under 70 in windy conditions around the Tampines Course to force a playoff at 4 under with Wannasrichan, who shot 72 alongside Kim in the final group.
