Kris Kim is through to the weekend of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas.
ENGLISH TEENAGER Kris Kim became the youngest player to make the cut on the PGA Tour in 11 years after a birdie at the last saw him get through to the weekend of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas with a shot to spare.The Waterford native improved on his opening day round of 73 with a 67 on Friday, but still missed the cut after finishing on two-under-par.
At 16 years and seven months he became the youngest player to make the cut on tour since 14-year-old Guan Tianlang at the 2013 Masters, and, according to the PGA Tour, the fifth youngest in history. “I’ve enjoyed it so much the last couple days and being here two more days makes it so much sweeter.” Kim’s compatriot Matt Wallace lost his overnight lead despite a second-round 66 — the highlight being an eagle after driving the 324-yard par-four 14th — moving him to 13 under.
