16-year-old golfer Kris Kim is going to have to cancel his weekend plans.
In his PGA Tour debut, Kim shot a four-under 67 on Friday at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson to push his two-day total to seven-under 135, making the cut by one stroke. He’ll be playing on Saturday and Sunday at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas.
