In a finish that had the Golf de Saint-Nom-La-Bretèche crowd on the edge of their seats, Michael Kim drained a nerve-shredding 16-foot par putt on the 72nd hole to secure a one-shot victory at the FedEx Open de France. The 32-year-old American, known as much for his witty social media presence as his steady play, etched his name into the history books as the first U.S. winner of the storied event in 53 years.
Kim’s dramatic up-and-down capped a flawless final-round 65, propelling him to a tournament total of 16-under-par 268. It marked his maiden DP World Tour title and just his second professional victory overall, ending a seven-year title drought since his dominant eight-shot romp at the 2018 John Deere Classic on the PGA Tour. Ranked 64th in the world entering the week, Kim moved to a career-best No. 39. His resurgence in 2025 has been nothing short of remarkable, blending his trademark humor with elite ball-striking skills.
