Kim posted a two-day total of three-under at the Rocket Mortgage Classic to miss the cut by one stroke.
Kim showed signs of fatigue playing for a ninth week in a row, posting rounds of 73-68 to narrowly miss the weekend. He dropped six shots over 36 holes at Detroit Golf Club, which was yielding low scores. Kim lost over two strokes on approach and hit just 61 percent of greens for the week. It's his first missed cut since the Valero Texas Open in early April.
Kim lost in a playoff to Scottie Scheffler after a four-under 66 in the final round of the Travelers Championship.
Tom Kim was the solo leader after rounds one, two and three. He had a solid showing on Sunday, but when you are going up against a great field of players, and in particular the No. 1 player in the world, solid just isn't going to cut it. Kim made a clutch birdie on the 72nd hole to force a playoff with Scheffler, but chunked a lob wedge in perfect position on the first playoff hole and the high spin led to the ball plugging and eventually leading to a bogey. Kim was seeking his fourth PGA Tour victory before the age of 23, but it just wasn't to be on Sunday. He still locked up a spot for South Korea in the Olympics next month and before that will hope to have a good showing at the Open Championship where he finished T2 a year ago.
Kim fired a six-under 64 to move into a tie for fourth place at the RBC Canadian Open.
Kim got better each day shooting rounds of 70-68-65-64 to pick up a much needed top-five finish. It's hard to believe but this was his first top-10 this season. Kim finished eighth in SG: Approach and sixth in SG: Around-the-Green for the week at Hamilton. He will look to build on that going into the Memorial Tournament next week.
