CNN —It had been a relatively unremarkable Open Championship for Kim Si-woo as he stepped up to Royal Troon’s notorious penultimate tee on Saturday. One perfect thump of his three-iron later, the South Korean made history. That was more than Si-woo had managed before Saturday, having double bogeyed and bogeyed the 17th hole across his opening two rounds. Si-woo followed up his eagle with a closing par to card an even-par 71, keeping him at five-over overall for the week. That goes in and that makes it more special, especially at the major and The Open here.”
