Tranlate this title Tom Kim dominates Genesis Scottish Open in spanish

Tom Kim won his first DP World Tour title (and his fourth career PGA Tour title) with a commanding performance on the back nine, completing a perfect circle at the Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. The South Korean, who finished fourth in this very tournament four years ago, had a difficult 2025 season and a tough start to 2026, slipping out of the world’s top 150. However, a third-place finish at the U.S. Open marked his resurgence, culminating in a resounding victory at the Genesis Scottish Open, an event co-sponsored by the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. With a bogey-free final round of 64 (-6), Kim reached -17, two shots ahead of Australian Min Woo Lee (champion here in 2021), who finished second with a final 67. Host Robert MacIntyre, Matt Fitzpatrick, Keita Nakajima, and Johnny Keefer tied for third place, three shots behind the winner. The victory guarantees Kim an invitation to the 2027 Masters. Keefer, Michael Thorbjornsen, and Victor Perez earned spots in next week’s Open Championship as top non-exempt players.

Kim dominates, results

Among the Italians competing, the best performance came from Francesco Molinari, who finished 17th with an excellent -8 (68-69-67-68). A solid and consistent result for the 2018 Open champion, who once again demonstrated his comfort on the Scottish links course. Guido Migliozzi finished 59th with a par total (68-67-70-75). After a strong start, the Venetian suffered a more difficult final round. Matteo Manassero (72-69) failed to make the cut.

Kim began the final round one shot off the lead, having completed the final holes on Saturday morning due to fog. He immediately took the lead by exploiting the par-5s and handled the pressure with great clarity, making crucial birdies and holding his nerve. Only a missed putt from about two meters on the 17th was the only sign of tension, but he finished with a comfortable two-par finish. Visibly moved at the end, Kim dedicated the victory to those who supported him during difficult times: «I have tasted so much humility during these difficult years. I have learned a lot about myself. This victory is special.» With this success, Tom Kim has returned to the spotlight of major summer events and heads to the Open Championship with great confidence. The Genesis Scottish Open 2026 once again confirms itself as an ideal stage for stories of rebirth and high-level golf.
