LAKE WORTH, Fla. – Sunny Kim of Queens, NY, enhanced his position atop both the 2020 and career money lists on the Minor League Golf Tour with a three-stroke victory Thursday at The Falls Club.
Kim fired a nine under par 63 for his 70th win. He made seven birdies before closing with an eagle at the par-5 18th hole, earning $1,000 from the $4,705 purse and another $120 from the skins game.
