South Korea's Joohyung "Tom" Kim, 20, posted a nine-under-par 61 on Sunday to win the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, NC, becoming one of the youngest winners in PGA Tour history.

Kim played the first nine in 27 strokes, tying the second-lowest nine-hole score in tour history. Hitting 20-under-par 260 for the week, he beat compatriot Sungjae I'm (68) and American John Huh (67) by five shots in the regular season finale at Sedgefield Country Club.
Ben Griffin was fourth at 14 under par after his second round of 64.
The PGA Tour granted Kim a special temporary membership last month, allowing him to play unlimited tournaments with sponsor waivers for the rest of the season while he looked for his tour card.
But Kim is already an accomplished player; he had nine previous pro wins in Asia and entered the week ranked 34th in the world.
