Kim Si-woo narrowly missed out on a PGA Tour victory at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, finishing in second place after a strong performance was ultimately surpassed by Wyndham Clark's exceptional final round. Kim, who had been chasing his first PGA Tour win in three years and four months, posted a 6-under 65 on Sunday, bringing his total to 27-under par.

However, Clark delivered a stunning 11-under 65 to finish at 30-under, surging past Kim to claim the title. This marks Kim's second runner-up finish of the season, following his performance at the Farmers Insurance Open in January. The South Korean golfer expressed his disappointment but maintained a positive perspective.

It's a shame, but the PGA Tour is so competitive that finishing second is not easy.
