Juhyung Kim has returned to the top 10 for the first time in one year and three months.

On May 10 (local time), at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club (par 71) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA, he recorded a 4-under-par 67 in the fourth round of the PGA Tour OneFlight Myrtle Beach Classic (total prize money: $4 million), carding five birdies and one bogey. With a final score of 14-under-par 270, Juhyung Kim finished tied for sixth (14-under-par 270) alongside Erik Cole (USA) and others.

Since beginning to adjust his swing last year, Juhyung Kim has not posted strong results over the past two years. This marks his first top-10 finish since tying for seventh at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February last year. Prior to this event, his best result this year was a tie for 18th at the Valspar Championship in March.

Starting the day tied for 10th, Kim picked up consecutive birdies on the 3rd and 4th holes before briefly pausing with a bogey on the par-4 6th hole. On the back nine, he climbed the leaderboard with birdies on the 11th and 13th holes, and added another stroke with a birdie on the par-3 17th. He relied on a greens-in-regulation rate of 72.22% and an average of 1.69 putts per hole as key factors.

Brant Snedeker (USA) shot a 5-under-par 66 to claim a one-shot victory (18-under-par 266). This marked his 10th career win, coming seven years and nine months after his previous victory at the Wyndham Championship in August 2018. He received a winner’s prize of $720,000 (about 1 billion won).

Mark Hubbard (USA), who was the leader the previous day, managed only a 1-under-par 70 and slipped to second place (17-under-par 267). Beau Hossler and Kevin Roy (both USA) shared third place (16-under-par 268), while Aaron Rai (England) finished fifth (15-under-par 269). Brooks Koepka (USA), who returned to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf, finished tied for 11th (12-under-par 272).
