‘Perfection’: South Korea’s Kim Si-woo makes historic 238-yard ace on one of the Open’s most menacing holesIt had been a relatively unremarkable Open Championship for Kim Si-woo as he stepped up to Royal Troon’s notorious penultimate tee on Saturday. That was more than Si-woo had managed before Saturday, having double bogeyed and bogeyed the 17th hole across his opening two rounds. “That is perfection … what a treat,” three-time Open champion Nick Faldo cooed on the Sky Sports broadcast. 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.”For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at CNN.com
