"It's been interesting. There's moments where I've had better starts than I've had previous years. And then there's been moments of uncertainty of where did the game go?"
Kim mentioned his brilliant finishes last year and said:
"And the strong fall last year and four second-place finishes, it was really into that moment of, man, I'm really close to kind of getting over the hump. It's just been a process to find that again."
"I made a few changes in the offseason, and it's been good sometimes, but it's also been backfiring. I think that's part of the process."
The 22-year-old golfer admitted to being frustrated with not being able to perform as well, yet tries to be patient because of the expectations he has of himself. While Kim hopes to find his form soon, he also wants to take his time before he can get himself into contention.
Tom Kim will enter the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with the winning odds of +6000.

- T52 in 2024 at the TPC Craig Ranch
