Michael Kim had one of the best weekend performances on the PGA Tour this season, but unfortunately for him, it wasn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
These freaking kids are ruining the game. They should have stayed in school \ud83d\ude02 pic.twitter.com\/9WyCL7sjCZ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Michael S.

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.<\/p>\n Michael Kim speak about Blades Brown and the influx of young talent on the PGA Tour at the moment:<\/p>\n \u201cHe’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.
