Tom Kim was struggling on Friday at Royal Liverpool.
“I definitely went out there with low expectations of, ‘I don't know how to hit the golf ball,’” Kim said. “It was definitely a lot of half swings. Once I started to warm and get more comfortable with it I was able to play around with it … I hit the ball better than yesterday without a bad foot, so maybe it's a good thing.”
That he did. Kim posted a 3-under 68 on Friday, which brought him to even par for the tournament and safely inside the cutline. He made four birdies in his first eight holes of the day, and ended his round with seven straight pars. It took him a few holes, but Kim said the adrenaline eventually “popped in” and helped him power through the round.Kim has won twice on the PGA Tour in his career, first at the Wyndham Championship last year and then again at the Shriners Children's Open earlier this season. He has six top-10 finishes this season, including a T8 run at the U.S. Open last month and a T6 finish last week at the Genesis Scottish Open, and entered the week ranked No. 24 in the Official World Golf Rankings.
Though the injury looks incredibly painful, and there’s no way to avoid walking on it if he’s going to stay in the tournament, Kim is determined to finish the weekend. He said he’s going to head home and ice his foot the rest of the night before returning to the course on Saturday.Your browser does not support HTML5 audio.

British Open: Tommy Fleetwood holds share of lead as big names struggleLate in the afternoon on Thursday, cameras at the Open Championship captured a lone golfer — an amateur hacker, presumably — out on the wide, flat beach beyond the clubhouse at Royal Liverpool.
