okay all right well we will go ahead and get started we’d like to welcome Tom Kim to the interview room here at the 2024 rocket mortgage classic Tom thanks for joining us for a few minutes I know you’ve had a lot going on very coming off a very impressive and hardfought week last week um with that now a few days in the rearview mirror if we could just have you look back on that and just a couple comments about what you what you were really proud of last week um obviously yeah um you know it’s obviously it was a really good week last week you know we did everything we could to try and get the win and um you know to me and Scotty both beat the field by two um which is I think really hard to do um at this level at this depth of field and for us to you know with one of my closest friends to be able to kind of you know play for a trophy it’s actually it’s never happened to me for me before so to kind of share that experience with him was really cool and um you know it’s it’s unfortunate for me to lose but you know I’m very proud of him and I’m pretty sure he’s he’s having a really good time with his family so I’m happy for him but um overall just kind of where my game has been it’s just kind of nice to see that you know just see to kind of see the results just kind of come into come into labor you’re speaking of the results you’ve had top five finishes now in two of your last four starts what is it about your game mentality whatever it is that’s really clicking and you’re feeling good about um I think everything’s just kind of coming together you know like I just I think my game has been I felt like it was in a really good State the whole year but just haven’t seen really good results and I think that’s kind of why I’m on this stretch was to kind of just make like kind of get my game you know a lot sharper because when you can do it at home and you can’t do it out here there’s actually no point so um that was a whole mind instead of kind of going the stretch to kind of get my competition game sharper um you know getting ready for the majors and um you know it’s I’m very fortunate that it actually has shown and how my game has um trended the right way and one last question for me and then we’ll open it up you’re making your third start here at the rocket mortgage classic you’ve had a top 10 finish as well here what is it about this place that you like and how it sets up suits your game it’s a very traditional stockle Golf Course um you know it’s a very Treeline golf of course you need to hit the ball in the Fairway um hopefully we won’t get much rain where it firms up where you can actually you have to play for a lot of shots where run outs and ball position and I just I I think that’s a very we don’t get that much type of golf anymore it’s all about you know wide Fairways hitting it far long holes but this golf course it’s there’s some there certain holes where it actually plays long but you have a lot of wedge opportunities where if you actually position yourself really well you can score well okay well with that we’ll take questions if You’ just pop your hand up we have a microphone we’ll pass your way we’ll start right back here you probably can’t see him because of hey Tom uh can you talk about the impact your caddy paor has had on you both on and off the course seems like your personalities mesh very well together um yeah so you know Paul and I have definitely it’s definitely become a lot more than just a cad player relationship um obviously it’s very big he and I have the have the same side of Faith which is really really cool um so perspective wise if I’m having a tough day on the golf course you know the perspectives that he can give is very different from what I’ve had instead of just saying hey like you know it’s just a tough day have the golf course you know he can definitely like just show a lot of the biblical stuff and it really helps me personally um when it’s when it gets tough and just to kind of see last week and the good finishes because we’ve been working really really hard to kind of just play well and to kind of um see that and share the same perspectives when good things happen it’s it’s really special morning Tom um I know you had a couple of wins last year and um or in a runner up finish last year as well rather you have one coming up this last week do you take more lessons from those close finishes where you finish just behind the leader or do you take more lessons from your victories uh yeah I think you defin I I feel like I’ve learned a lot more from my failures or not failures but like tough weeks and uh like runout finishes because I feel like there’s just so much more to gain where golf is you lose 90 99% of the year that’s just kind of way it goes you know like only one guy wins the trophy and everyone else goes home so you know I’ve felt like victories victories are so much fun you know like there that’s that’s why you play golf and um to lift up some trophies but when you play really good and you finish second to the number one golfer in the world but you know as as much as golf I played with him as close I am with him he’s still really really good and for me to be able to kind of extend it to playoff holes and to kind of you know experience that depth of field and playing my best golf and to see that man like I played really good I had 24 birdies and two bogeys and the two Bogies came from two three butts and I’m like man if I just if I can save one of those shots you know I I win the golf tournament i w and I just feel like there’s so much more to gain when you when you have weeks like that it’s a it’s a positive week but you always look at it as okay how can I do better and you just you feed off so much and that’s I think that’s how you keep adding up good weeks and adding up your successes and leads to winning winning big golf tours any additional questions okay Tessa go for it hang on one second we can bring the microphone over to you um how has golf forever um like helped you in your physical fitness over the end of this 8we stretch uh so that’s actually the big thing I went on the stretch before my I guess my rookie year at 22 um it wasn’t planned it was just more a h it just kind of happened and I think by the time I got to week 6 78 I just I was very very tired um but like now my fitness is way more consistent it’s way more intense so that actually has actually I’m actually it’s my ninth week and I’m I’m feeling like it’s only my second you know I feel really fresh and um to have a partner like that definitely helps me just stay in shape especially on the road it’s so hard when to be disciplined and to be committed with your workouts and to have a partner that like that where on tour it’s always accessible and it’s easy to travel with um it kind of forces you to stay on it so you know being consistent with my fitness has has played a huge role um in my in my young young early stages of my career all right well thank you Tom we appreciate your time
