Si Woo Kim spent Sunday afternoon near the top of a major championship leaderboard, sharing the outright lead late at Royal Birkdale before finishing tied for sixth at the Open. That's not an outlier. He's collected four top-10 finishes across his last six starts and has missed only one cut in his last twenty, with his approach play doing the heavy lifting — third on Tour in strokes gained on approach the green. Russell Henley is a quality player and a deserved fixture near the top of these odds boards, but the version of Si Woo Kim playing right now is operating on a different level than a name-recognition matchup price suggests. Detroit's rebuilt green complexes are going to demand exactly what Kim has delivered all summer: precise, controlled approach play into targets that punish anything imprecise. There's no residual pressure from major week either, since Kim's already banked results that matter for his season, which only sweetens the number. Si Woo Kim covers this one comfortably.
