Na on Kim's suspension: 'Three years is ridiculous'
LAS VEGAS – Kevin Na didn’t need much prompting to get going on Bio Kim’s three-year suspension from the Korean Tour for flashing a middle finger.
Asked about the incident on Wednesday at the Shriners, Na, who had been mostly cracking jokes while seated in the interview room, turned serious.
“First of all, I don't know where to start,” Na said, his head down.
After detailing his relationship with Kim, to whom Na says he’d tried to be something of a “big brother” since Kim played the PGA Tour in 2011, Na called the three-year ban both “ridiculous” and “extreme.”
“Yes, what he did was wrong. Should he be fined? Yes. Three years is ridiculous,” he said.
