In a stunning turn of events, Michael Kim has claimed victory at the French Open, marking his first international title win in seven years. The 32-year-old became the first American to claim this title since 1972, overcoming a tense moment in a sand trap on the final hole.
While Kim's achievement was the highlight, the tournament featured Brooks Koepka's surprising fourth-place finish. Koepka, initially tied for the lead, faltered in the final holes, managing a 68 and finishing two shots behind. His recent form on the European tour shows a mix of resilience and challenge.
On the LPGA front, heavy rain led to the Arkansas Championship being reduced to a single round, with the prize money adjusted accordingly. Doug Barron dominated the PGA Tour Champions, pulling ahead with a strategic birdie streak. His persistence paid off with a victory at Pebble Beach.
