LIV Golf flop mocked after DREADFUL campaign continues: "Getting out of hand!"
LIV Golf pro Sihwan Kim continued his nightmare season with the breakaway tour in Australia.
Sihwan Kim continued his nightmare season with the breakaway tour by posting an ugly opening round of 84 at LIV Golf Adelaide.
Kim's score of 12-over par at The Grange Golf Club in South Australia was summed up with an ugly 10 (!) on the par-5 seventh hole.
The 34-year-old, who is part of Kevin Na's Iron Heads, started on the sixth hole alongside his teammates Danny Lee and Scott Vincent.

Things got off to a respectable start when he made a par-3 at No. 6. But then things got dramatically worse when he recorded a quintuple bogey at the very next hole.
When he got to the party hole, which is a LIV's answer to the iconic 16th at TPC Scottsdale on the PGA Tour, Kim sent one straight into the crowd.
Apparently, the wind took it.

Prayers for the fans. #LIVGolfAdelaide

By the time he completed his round, his 84 included four bogeys, two double bogeys, a quintuple bogey and one birdie.

Another added:
The good news for Kim was that only the top three scores count in Adelaide, meaning that he didn't have to profusely apologise to Na (pictured above), Lee and Vincent.
The Iron Heads found themselves third in the standings after the opening round. Talor Gooch spoiled Cameron Smith's homecoming by posting a blistering 10-under 62.
Sihwan Kim needs to be relegated mid-season. Getting out of hand. Plus, I know a guy who should get a shot.
