Kim Sung-hyun won the Conferry Tour and seems to be sealing his return to the PGA stage.
Kim Sung-hyun finished 1 under par in the final round of the Conferry Tour AdventHealth Championship held at Blue Hills Country Club in Missouri on the 18th (local time), recording a final total of 20-under 268 to secure a three-stroke victory.
Kim Sung-hyun, who gained momentum by finishing second twice in the seven Conferry Tour tournaments he participated in this season and passing the cut of all tournaments, ranked first in the Conferry Tour points by winning this tournament. The Conferry Tour, which is a lower PGA Tour, gives the top 20 points a place to participate in the PGA Tour next season. If this trend continues, it would be safe to say that Kim Sung-hyun's return to the PGA has been booked. Kim Sung-hyun first stepped on the Conferry Tour in 2022 and earned a PGA Tour card with 12th points that year, but lost his tour card last season, ranking 130th in the FedEx Cup.
Kim Sung-hyun said, `I feel really good because it's been a long time since I won the championship. "My goal this season is to win the title of the 'Player of the Year' with my consistent performance in the Conferi Tour " and "I am focusing on the Conferi Tour, but I plan to participate in the '68th KPGA Championship with A-ONE CC' and the '41st Shinhan Donghae Open' to greet my Korean fans."
Noh Seung-yeol, who participated in the same competition, tied for 10th and Lee Seung-taek tied for 16th. Lee remains seventh in the Conferry Tour points standings. Lee Seung-taek is also likely to advance to the PGA Tour.
