Golf fans all say same thing after Anthony Kim's opening round in Macau
Golf fans all cracked the same joke after Anthony Kim struggled on the opening day of the International Series Macau event on the Asian Tour.
Anthony Kim is staring down the barrel of his first missed cut in more than 12 years.
The 38-year old carded an opening round of 4-over 74 at the International Series Macau event on the Asian Tour.
Kim and a posse of LIV golfers are in the field this week in a bid to try and gain some much-needed world ranking points.
The American's scorecard contained four bogeys, a double bogey and two birdies that left him 11 shots behind the early leader Haotong Li.
Kim is currently T-136 in the 144-man field and will have work to do if he is to make it to the weekend.
His last official cut came almost 12 years go when he posted a 74-70 at the Transitions Championship in Innisbrook.

Kim's PGA Tour career came to a sad end when he withdrew from the Wells Fargo Championship in 2012 with an Achilles injury.
Wild speculation ensued over the years as to his whereabouts and he finally resurfaced from his exile with LIV Golf.
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan recently confirmed talks were held with Kim about a potential return to that circuit.
But Kim favoured a pay-for-play career with LIV and finished dead last on his return.
He has so far declined to tell 'his story' but we could get some answers when LIV head to Miami in a few weeks' time.
Kim's second LIV event, in Hong Kong, saw him finish 50th out of 54 players. His third round of 5-under showed promise.
Some golf fans on X took a dim view of Kim's showing in Macau. "It's time to move on," one wrote. Another added: "He's so close man!"
Despite some negativity, there are some who are rooting hard for Kim. "Give him some time and he'll be good," another wrote.
At the other end of the leaderboard fellow LIV players Mito Pereira and Pat Perez are one stroke behind Li on 6-under.
Carlos Ortiz, David Puig and Patrick Reed are also inside the top-10.
