Kim Si-woo finished tied for 10th at the PGA Memorial Tournament, which featured a total prize pool of $20 million.

On June 8, during the final round at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio, Kim shot a 6-under 66, which included one eagle, five birdies, and one bogey.

With a total score of 5-under 283, Kim climbed 12 spots on the leaderboard to finish alongside Maverick McNealy of the United States.

Kim has been on a strong run this season, following his second-place finish at The CJ Cup on May 22, marking back-to-back top 10 finishes. He has participated in 16 PGA Tour events this season, making the cut in all and achieving eight top 10 finishes.

J.T. Poston of the United States claimed the victory, making a dramatic birdie on the 18th hole to tie with Ryan Gerard, also of the United States, and ultimately winning after a second playoff hole.

This victory marks Poston's fourth career win, coming nearly 1 year and 8 months after his last win at the Shriners Children's Open in October 2024. The winner's prize was $4 million (approximately 6.23 billion won).

Wyndham Clark finished third with a total score of 11-under 277, while Tommy Fleetwood of England and Sam Burns of the United States tied for fourth at 10-under 278.
