What a show Justin Rose and Si Woo Kim delivered on Sunday at the Tour Championship! With two "slam-dunk" moments back-to-back, they rocked East Lake and created the highlight explosion of the final tournament. Rose holed out an ace on the par-3 ninth from an incredible 208 yards (190.20 meters), and as if that wasn't enough, Kim immediately countered with an eagle holing-out on the par-4 tenth.
This shot by Rose was no ordinary hole-in-one: It was his fourth career ace and the first on the ninth at the Tour Championship since Xander Schauffele in 2019. The 46-year-old Rose had actually started his final round with two bogeys, but this one swing catapulted him back to even par for the day and to 8 under overall, which at that point put him in 13th place.
Kim's Counter Lands Perfectly
But Kim didn't keep them waiting long. His response was at least as spectacular: From 120 yards (109.73 meters), he holed his shot directly into the cup for an eagle on the tenth. This immediately propelled him to 10 under par in the tournament, before he made a bogey on the eleventh. These back-to-back explosions made the duo the absolute highlight of the day, an absolute must-watch on the course.
The Magic of the Perfect Pairing
That Rose and Kim were paired together in the final round was pure coincidence – but a fortunate one. Their spectacular shots, which essentially came in a double pack, were immediately hailed as one of the most significant moments of the week. In the end, both stood at 8 under par on the scoreboard, a truly strong result that delivered an incredible round to the fans, one that won't soon be forgotten.
