TOM KIM AMONG LEADERS AT WYNDHAM

GREENSBORO, N. C. Joohyung (Tom) Kim began the Wyndham Championship with a quadruple bogey on his first hole and wasn’t the least bit bothered. The kid seems to be going places in a hurry. Already assured a PGA Tour card for next season, Kim overcame his rough start with a sixunder 64 on Friday that gave him a share of the early lead with Brandon Wu and Ryan Moore in the final PGA Tour event of the regular season. Kim, a 20-year-old South Korean, has to win at Sedgefield Country Club to qualify for the FedEx Cup playoffs because he will not be considered a PGA Tour member until September when the new season starts. Only a victory gives him instant membership. He took eight shots for his first hole on Thursday. Since then, Kim has made 14 birdies and reached nine-under 131 along with Wu (67) and Moore (67). Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., shot a three-under 67 on Friday. He is tied with two other Canadians, Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, B.C., and Michael Gligic of Burlington, Ont., at two-under through two rounds. John Huh, who opened with a 61, fired a 71 on Friday and is one shot behind the leaders.
