The US Open champion did not play badly, but fell victim to the brutal nature of Valderrama.

Tom Kim was unknown to many in golf a little over a year ago but is now a household name and a two-time PGA Tour winner. After his brilliant showing at the Presidents Cup, Kim won his second PGA Tour event when outgunning Patrick Cantlay to win the Shriners Children’s Open.

Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre defeated US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick in a play-off to win his second DP World Tour title in the DS Automobiles Italian Open.
Robert MacIntyre has said his main goal for 2023 is to make Team Europe’s Ryder Cup roster.

Ad MacIntyre’s victory came at the venue for next year’s Ryder Cup, the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, and the left-hander now has his sights trained on a place on Luke Donald’s team.
