Michael Kim reflects on the 'highs and lows of golf' after contrasting rounds at the John Deere Classic 2025

Following two contrasting days at the John Deere Classic, Michael Kim talked about the 'highs and lows' of golf on social media. He reflected on his performance and also revealed that he was trying to rectify the mistakes.

On Friday, July 4, Kim carded a 4-over 75 in the second round of the John Deere Classic to miss the cut by one stroke. What’s shocking was that he had fired a 64 a day earlier and was just two shots back after Day 1 action.

On Sunday, July 6, Michael Kim shared some notes from his last week's outing at TPC Deere Run on X.

"The highs and lows of golf," he wrote. "Flew too close to the sun I guess on Thursday. Everything was great but struggled mightily Friday. Couldn’t stop missing it left. Worked on it during the weekend. Obviously the good golf is there and I’ll be looking to get some good golf these next couple weeks. Links golf is the best."

Kim also shared some good news, although it's yet to be confirmed.

"No official word yet but I think I should be qualified for the open championship," he continued ."First time I’ll be playing all 4 majors in a yr. Thinking about playing at North Berwick on Monday when we arrive. Think I can get a tee time around 1?

"Always love my time back at the Deere, im thinking I’ve used up all my good golf at Deere run for one yr and I’m just saving up until next time. Scottish open next! And maybe the Open Championship diaries???"
