Kim Si-woo (31, CJ) finished tied for 4th place at the Cadillac Championship, a signature event on the PGA Tour in the United States.

On the 4th (Korean time), Kim recorded a 2-under-par 70 in the final fourth round of the tournament held at Trump National Doral Blue Monster Course (par 72) in Miami, Florida, with three birdies and two bogeys.

Finishing with a total of 11-under-par 277, Kim ended the tournament tied for 4th alongside Adam Scott (Australia) and Jeff Straka (Austria).

With this result, Kim achieved his 6th top-10 finish and 4th top-5 finish of the season.

Starting the final round tied for 2nd, Kim stumbled early with a bogey on the 3rd hole (par 4). However, he immediately birdied the 4th hole (par 3) and continued to lower his score. Ultimately, he could not close the gap with the leaders and finished the tournament tied for 4th.

Kim ranked in the top 10 consecutively at the American Express (tied 6th) at the start of the season, followed by the Farmers Insurance Open (tied 2nd) and the WM Phoenix Open (tied 3rd).

After a brief pause, Kim regained momentum with a tied 10th at the Valero Texas Open last month and a tied 3rd at the RBC Heritage, and he secured a spot in the upper ranks at this tournament as well.

Cameron Young (United States) claimed the championship trophy at this event. Young finished with a total of 19-under-par 269, defeating world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (United States, 13-under-par 275) by six strokes to lift the trophy.

Following his victory at the Players Championship in March, dubbed the 'fifth major,' Young's win at this signature event secured his second victory of the season, earning him a prize of $3.6 million (approximately 5.3 billion won).

Meanwhile, world No. 1 Scheffler finished as runner-up in three consecutive tournaments, following the Masters Tournament and the RBC Heritage last month.

Lim Sung-jae (28, CJ), who also competed, finished tied for 65th with a total of 2-over-par 290.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump and his family visited the venue to watch the tournament, which was held at a golf course owned by Trump, drawing significant attention from the galleries.
