Charles Schwab Challenge: 1-Over-Par in Final Round for Siwoo Kim
Griffin Claims Second Win Since Zurich Classic in April
Schmid Finishes 2nd, Scheffler 4th, Tom Kim 44th
Siwoo Kim failed to break into the top 10.
On May 25 (local time), at Colonial Country Club (par 70, 7,289 yards) in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, during the Charles Schwab Challenge on the PGA Tour (total prize money $9.5 million), Siwoo Kim shot a 1-over-par 71 in the 4th round, finishing tied for 28th place with a total score of 3-under-par 277.

Siwoo Kim recorded one birdie and two bogeys. Had he reduced his score by three strokes, he could have moved into the top 10, but instead, he slipped in the rankings. His green-in-regulation rate dropped sharply to 44.44%, and his putting average (1.88 putts) was also not effective.
Ben Griffin (USA) lost one stroke, but thanks to Matti Schmid (Germany), who started the final round as a co-leader, shooting a 2-over-par, Griffin secured victory by one stroke with a total of 12-under-par 268. After winning his first career title last month at the Zurich Classic, a two-man team event, alongside Andrew Novak (USA), Griffin achieved his first solo victory in just a month. The winner's prize was $1,638,000 (approximately 2.24 billion KRW).
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (USA) finished tied for 4th place with 8-under-par 272, while Tom Kim finished tied for 44th with 1-under-par 279.
