At the end of round one, Michael Kim looked like he was going to be the top contender in the 2025 DP World Tour Championship. He led Tommy Fleetwood & the field by 1 stroke after scoring an incredible 8-under 64. Kim would have hoped to repeat his performance and extend his lead even further on Friday. However, to his disappointment, he ended up conceding strokes. And that left the 32-year-old disappointed. After completing the second set of 18 holes, Kim expressed himself on X on Friday. He wrote, “That… was bad 😓 Some could say I couldn’t handle the pressure lol. But we’re only halfway, and I still feel pretty good about my game. Let’s have a great weekend!” After a flawless Thursday, he managed to concede four bogeys and a double bogey on Friday. The mishit on the second shot of the 470-yard par-4 12th hole was probably his worst shot of the day. Ironically, Kim managed a birdie there in round 1. 

After leading the field on Thursday, Michael Kim shares his disappointment over his performance in the second round of the playoff event.
