Kim, who entered the playoff ranked 14th in the FedExCup standings, started the day on the 10th hole (par-4) and was four strokes off the lead after the first round. In the second half, Kim made three straight birdies on Nos. 2-4, including a long birdie putt of about 9.5 meters on No. 4 (par-3).His only disappointment came on the seventh hole (par-4) when his tee shot went into the right rough.
