John Deere Classic 2018: Michael Kim Wins 1st-Ever PGA Event, Sets Record

The first career PGA Tour win for Michael Kim came in dominant fashion as the American took home the 2018 John Deere Classic by eight strokes.

Kim shot a 66 Sunday at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, putting him at 27 strokes under par for the week to set a new tournament record. Francesco Molinari, Joel Dahmen, Sam Ryder and Bronson Burgoon all tied for second place at 19-under.

Although the tournament didn't feature too many big names, the win still counts the same in the FedEx standings, and Kim still brings home the biggest share of the $5.8 million purse.

This article will be updated to provide more information on this story as it becomes available.
