Kim, playing in his first event since finishing in a share of 32nd in the men's golf competition at the Tokyo Olympics, was even par on the day when he stepped up to TPC Southwind's 155-yard 11th hole that features an island green.

A three-time PGA Tour winner, Kim's tee shot sailed right of the island green.

Kim then went to a drop zone that was 96 yards from the hole and sent his next four shots into the water before finally finding the rough with his 11th shot.

From there, Kim chipped to within a foot of the cup before tapping in for an unsightly 13.

According to the PGA Tour, Kim's 13 marks the highest score recorded at TPC Southwind – which has hosted a PGA Tour event annually since 1989 – and is the highest on a par-3 on the PGA Tour, outside of the four majors, since 1983.

Kim responded immediately with a birdie but carded a double-bogey at the par-3 14th where he sent another tee shot into the water.

Undeterred, Kim birdied the next three holes before signing for an eight-over par 78 that left him at 13 over on the week and last in the field.

The 11th hole had seen just six balls find the water before Sunday but was playing more difficult in the final round.

Contenders Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau, playing in the final group, also hit their tee shots in the water on the 11th.

English made double-bogey, while DeChambeau made a triple-bogey 6.
