Michael Kim had one of the best weekend performances on the PGA Tour this season, but unfortunately for him, it wasn’t quite enough to get him into a Sunday playoff at the World Wide Technology Championship. But he continued to cook after his round (as he usually does) on Twitter.

After his close call, Kim fired off a tweet that pointed out just how young the only two golfers he lost to in Mexico are. That would be 19(!)-year-old Blades Brown, who became the youngest PGA Tour winner of the modern era, and 23-year-old Ben James, who combined to make the youngest PGA Tour playoff in at least 50 years.

Suddenly, the 33-year-old Kim felt like a grizzled veteran fighting off a younger generation looking to replace him. And he summed up what a lot of older golfers were probably thinking Sunday night.

“These freaking kids are ruining the game,” Kim tweeted jokingly. “They should have stayed in school.”

Technically, James, couldn’t stay in school after graduating in the spring unless he wanted to earn a higher degree at UVA, but we get the point from Michael. These young whippersnappers are making an immediate impact on the PGA Tour. And Kim had a lot more to say about it when he spoke with the media and heaped praise on Brown, James and 21-year-old Jackson Koivun.

Michael Kim speak about Blades Brown and the influx of young talent on the PGA Tour at the moment:

“He’s just an unbelievable talent. This year I played with a lot of young guys. Ben James, who isn’t having the best Sunday but obviously super talented. I played with Jackson… https://t.co/azZigEmmNa pic.twitter.com/IQmDW1cGAB

In other words, these guys kids are good.
