Anthony Kim return to competitive golf has been marked by uncertainty, with initial struggles and a last-place finish. However, in the latest tournament in Hong Kong, Kim showed signs of progress with a notable improvement in his performance. After shooting 76-76-74 in the first three rounds, he posted a 72 on Saturday and a remarkable 65 on Sunday his first under-par round since his comeback.

Despite emphasizing it’s just one round, the golf world is intrigued by Kim’s potential. The stats indicate his struggles off the tee but his putting has been a strong suit. While the LIV broadcast highlighted Kim’s putting average it’s essential to consider the modern Strokes Gained: Putting metric for a more comprehensive analysis.

Kim expressed happiness about the progress and confidence he’s building. Looking ahead, he is set to play in the International Series Macau on the Asian Tour before the next LIV event in Miami. However, he will face challenges with a four-round format, a cut and a significantly smaller purse compared to LIV events. Despite these factors, Kim’s comeback journey continues to capture attention and curiosity.
