“마이너스 1점은 우승”…김시우, BMW 챔피언십서 시즌 첫 승 도전

Kim Si-woo, the 31-year-old South Korean golfer, finished the 2023 season with nine points out of a perfect ten, leaving him one point away from victory. The final point he needed was for a championship win. Kim is currently competing in the PGA Tour play-offs, aiming to secure his first victory this season. Speaking to reporters after the opening of the BMW Championship on September 19, Kim expressed his desire to win in either the current or the following week.

This is Kim's first championship win in his career, after placing fourth in the Sony Open in Hawaii in January 2023, which was his best finish to date. Throughout the year, Kim achieved 11 top-10 finishes, including three runner-up finishes in regular-season tournaments. At the recent FedEx Cup Playoff, Kim secured second place, moving up to 4th in the FedEx Cup standings.

Kim attributes his consistency to extensive practice and a better understanding of shot selection and strategy. He also credits current world number one Scottie Scheffler, with whom he has played nearly every week in Texas, for helping him improve his game.

With this season's experience, Kim believes that winning the tournament will come with continued competition. He added that success in the PGA Tour involves more than just talent and that being consistent and improving is crucial. "I believe that a win will come if you keep going," Kim said.
