Kim Joo-hyung tied for 32nd after opening round at PGA Canadian Open

Golfer Kim Joo-hyung opened the RBC Canadian Open with a solid performance, finishing the first round in a tie for 32nd place. Competing at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in Ontario, Kim posted a 3-under-par 67, positioning himself just three strokes off the co-leaders.

Kim's round included four birdies and one bogey. He started his round on the 10th hole and quickly gained momentum, sinking a birdie on the 12th hole. He followed this with consecutive birdies on the 13th and 14th holes, demonstrating strong early play. However, after making three birdies in his first six holes, Kim's scoring pace slowed.

Despite the promising start, Kim faced a setback with a bogey on the par-4 2nd hole. He then maintained par for the subsequent holes until reaching the par-4 6th hole. This performance comes after a challenging previous season where Kim, a three-time PGA Tour champion, recorded only one top-10 finish in 26 starts. His current season has also seen limited success, with just one top-10 finish in 13 tournaments played so far.

With the field tightly bunched, Kim's position within three shots of the lead suggests he remains in contention for a strong showing in the upcoming rounds of the Canadian Open.
