Tour re-classifies Wyndham champ Kim as rookie
The PGA Tour announced Wednesday that Wyndham Championship winner Si Woo Kim has been re-classified as a rookie for the 2015-16 season and is now eligible for Rookie of the Year honors.
Kim, 21, cruised to a five-shot win last month in Greensboro, marking the highlight of a season that has included 14 top-25 finishes in 32 starts. He also lost a playoff to Aaron Baddeley at the Barbasol Championship, and Kim enters the BMW Championship at No. 18 in the FedEx Cup standings which means he is assured of a spot at the season-ending Tour Championship.
