Tom Kim’s emotional apology to Korean fans after the Olympics

Tom Kim, the South Korean golfer, is disappointed with his performance at the Olympics, believing he could have done much better. The 22-year-old golfer from Seoul entered the final day just three strokes away from a medal. However, he lost his concentration and focus during the back nine and finished with a three-under-par 68.

He sent a message on social media in Korean. In his lengthy post, the young golfer reflected on many aspects, clearly disappointed as he was close to winning a medal for his country. Kim demonstrated that he is a religious person who believes that with God’s help, nothing is impossible.

I am extremely thankful for His guidance, which has helped me stay humble both as a person and as a golfer, and for being my greatest strength in challenging situations.”-he wrote in Korean, translated to English.
