Si Woo Kim fired a bogey-free 3-under-par 69 on Sunday to win the 2017 PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass. At just 21, Kim becomes the youngest champion in tournament history.
Louis Oosthuizen and Ian Poulter tied for second place at 7-under, while Rafa Cabrera Bello and Kyle Stanley rounded out the top 5, tied at 6-under.
Following a breakout 2015-16 season where he picked up his first win at the Wyndham, Kim has struggled mightily this year with just one top-10 prior to this week.
But none of that really matters now as Kim is a two-time PGA Tour winner at the tender age of 21.
A career win for Si Woo Kim!

Along with a 5-year exemption and automatic invites to all the big events, the victory also earned the young South Korean star $1,890,000 and 600 FedEx Cup points – which moved Kim from 132nd all the way up to 22nd.
