GREENSBORO, N.C. – Si Woo Kim wasn’t able to hold onto the 54-hole lead at the Wyndham Championship, but he still left Sedgefield Country Club with an appealing consolation prize: a spot in next month’s U.S. Open.
Kim started the day two shots clear of the field as he looked to win this event for the second time, but an even-par 70 dropped him into a tie for third and left him three shots behind eventual champion Jim Herman. With Herman claiming the first of two U.S. Open invites available to top-10 finishers not otherwise exempt, the second spot came down to a tiebreaker between Kim and Doc Redman, who also tied for third at 18 under.
