Michael Kim shared his thoughts after winning the FedEx Open de France

Michael Kim joined the post-tournament press conference of the Open de France to share his thoughts on winning the Open de France. Kim added that he always wanted to play at the international stage, outside the PGA Tour. His words in the interview were (via ASAP Sports):

“It's fantastic. I always wanted to be a player that plays on the international stage, not just on the PGA TOUR, and I feel like this is a fantastic start to that career…I kind of bailed out with my 6-iron just trying not to go into the water there. Just pulled it a little bit, and the wind took it into the bunker. Had a nice lie. I've had similar putts I've ran on Friday and Saturday.

He continued, “I ran them by five, six feet. So I knew it was getting fast. I wanted to make sure I don't blow it by and I felt like I hit a pretty good bunker shot, and just didn't run out nearly as much as I thought. But that putt, Elvis gave me a decent look from the side. I knew it was going to go a little right at the end, and you know, just tried to hit a really nice putt. And somehow, it went in.”

Kim shot 16 under at the Open de France and won the event with a one-shot victory over Elvis Smylie and Jeong weon Kim. The 32-year-old fired a 69 in the first round of the day with one birdie on the front nine and one birdie on the back nine. Followed by 68 in the second round of the event, with three birdies on the front nine and two birdies on the back nine. The third and fourth rounds saw 66 with 65, with six birdies in each of the rounds.
