Now the teenager from Epsom aims to qualify for The Open at Royal Troon next month after excelling in the amateur ranks.

He is set to tee it up in final qualifying at Dundonald Links on Tuesday try to compete for the Claret Jug. Kim, who turns 17 in September and is coached by his ex-pro mum Ji-Hyun Suh, visited the Scottish course earlier this month for a practise round.
