WITB Time Machine: Michael Kim’s winning WITB, 2018 John Deere Classic
Michael Kim’s triumph at the 2018 John Deere Classic was nothing short of spectacular. The 25-year-old delivered an explosive performance at TPC Deere Run, carding rounds of 63, 64, 64, and a final 66 to finish at 27-under-par 257. That total shattered the tournament’s previous 72-hole record by one stroke and secured an eight-stroke victory, the largest margin since the event moved to its current venue in 2000. The win remains his only PGA Tour trophy.
