I think he will win this year, the kid is good and his swing is fairly simple so he isn't inconsistent. I don't think the course setting will matter... he will win when he is hitting it well and putting well and someone doesn't do it better..

You know, I was just thinking of this thread a moment ago for just this reason.

I voted five years. He was nervous on Sunday when he could have easily won. Will take him some time to get seasoned. Can't throw up on himself like that and expect to contend.

Uhm, call me "prepared to say I was wrong" at this point.

Kim might "throw up on himself" yet tomorrow, but nice job covering yourself if wrong. I use it myself all the time - softens the blow.

That's OK man. I may well be saying the same thing tomorrow:
I think he's going to win his first in Texas.

I say it could be this year depending on the field of course. If it's a Tiger event..no..but if it's one of those general ones..yes, I think he has a good chance. As far as cocky goes, there was an article about him in either GD of Golf a few months ago and he wears a rhinestone covered belt buckle that says "AK". Hopefully he sticks around to chill out/down and get his speed going. I think he's a tad giddy right now..but that's good..look at Sergio when he began.

Looks like sooner than later..lol He's going to be a decent threat after his first win. I'm interested how he'll do in a "Tiger" event. Talk about some clutch putts today. Finishing up with a birdie after his playing partner holed out for birdie was nothing short of solid. Move over, aside, etc. Kevin Na..here comes Anthony.

I'm going to say next year... he hasn't been in contention much, and I think that will change, but the win might not come until next year.

Uhm, call me "prepared to say I was wrong" at this point.

well, at least I said it might not come until NEXT year... instead of 5 years as iacas voted for. Either way, it looks like we could both be proven wrong... he'd have to throw up twice or someone go real low.

He's set up for a win today!!!

The dude grips down 1.5" on his driver and still nails it 330 on tight driving holes.

He could really be a monster if his nerves match his ability.

Nike has got to be loving this.

Time is relative.

By 'some time,' I'm sure you meant 2 weeks.

with him sitting at -13 and imo the only horses in the field that could catch him should he fall would be:

Cink -8 (5 behind)
Ogilvy -7 (6 behind)

and maybe Scott & Lefty both at -5 (8 behind) but their a long ways from catching him imho even if he stumbles

I think today Kim gets the win (unless he really chokes) his 1st

Nike signed him for a reason. Maybe they'll finally put his name on something.

Opens with a birdie. So much for whatever pressure might have hurt his sleep the night of his first 54-hole lead.

There's still plenty of golf to be played, but that is awesome.

He's -4 through 9 holes with 11 Putts. Does the "AK" belt buckle come out at his next tournament? Him and Rori in the battle of the matching bling.

Kim is looking really good this particular Sunday...sinking long birdie putts back to back, then hitting the pin after driving into the bunker and having to lay-up...just looks super focused.

Just noticed that he has on the belt buckle. He played the hole, terribly and still made par. That's a good sign.

The PGA Tour must be happy to see two, sub 25 year olds like Kim and Ryan Moore playing in the last group on consecutive weeks. It's just good for the game.

He seems like one of those guys that can adjust at the last millisecond before impact.

Like Tiger does, and JD used to do on approach and pitch shots.

I just heard Jim Nantz say he is only the 13th player under the age of 23 to win a PGA Tour event since 1973. He joins an excellent group of golfers and he's the fourth Nike guy to win, this year.
