21-year-old Si Woo Kim became the youngest player to ever win the Players Championship Sunday at TPC Sawgrass, avoiding the potential disasters that can occur at nearly any hole down the stretch with a bogey-free round of 69. Kim was the only player in the top-10 to card zero bogeys on the day, while the final group pairing of J.B. Holmes and Kyle Stanley finished a combined 13-over par on the day.

Kim was 3-under through his first nine holes Sunday, and no one was able to catch him at 10-under par. Ian Poulter - who thought he had lost his PGA Tour card a few weeks ago before the FedEx Cup points were recalculated and he retained his status - was within a shot of Kim's lead with seven holes to play, but bogeys at 12 and 18 dashed his hopes.

Kim still needed to navigate the perilous island green at 17 and the water down the right side of the fairway at 18, but he confidently and causally locked up his second career PGA Tour victory to announce his arrival among the PGA Tour's best young players.
