ROUND 4 NOTES<\/p>\n

REACTION TO KIM’S WIN: Anthony Kim<\/a>‘s win will go down as a historic moment for both LIV Golf and the sport. Kim\u2019s peers certainly recognize the significance of the achievement. Here\u2019s what they had to say:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cam Smith: \u201cIt’s so good. If it wasn’t one of us this week, to have him win here in Adelaide at our premier event is pretty cool. I’m so happy for him. He’s worked hard. I actually played with Anthony his first round back in Saudi a few years ago, and it was scrappy to say the least, and I was very skeptical at the start. But what he’s been able to do over the past couple of seasons and dig deep and grind out and then do what he did today is pretty special. Congrats to him. I’m so happy for him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marc Leishman: \u201cAs a dad, it’s pretty amazing what he’s done for his daughter. I think we all as dads, you play for your family and you play for your wife and your kids and all that, and your extended family. But for him to be able to change his life through golf in that way, it shows what a good person he is and what a strong person he is, what golf can do for your life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know, it’s pretty touching, actually, how good a story this is. I hope that people realize how it’s a fairy tale, it really is. Not just golf but life. You see his wife and his daughter run out on the green, and that’s as good as it gets. I couldn’t be happier for AK.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jon Rahm: \u201cThat was one of the craziest, best rounds of golf. Maybe two and three he had to make pars but after that it was absolutely flawless on a difficult golf course.\u201d<\/p>\n

AK\u2019S CELEBRATION: Anthony Kim<\/a>, doting father to his young daughter Bella, was asked how he would celebrate the victory. \u201cI might actually watch the movie \u2018Frozen,\u2019\u201d he replied. \u201cI don’t know, man. I didn’t plan this far. I planned to be contending to win golf tournaments, but I haven’t gotten this far.<\/p>\n

But I’m going to enjoy my time here in Australia. We’re going to be here for two more days and we’re going to go see the kangaroos and the koalas, maybe some giraffes. So that’s my fun.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TOP OF THE LEADERBOARDS Individual Top 10\u00a0 1\u00a0(-23) \u2013\u00a0Anthony Kim, 4Aces\u00a0(67-67-68-63)\u00a0 2\u00a0(-20)\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Jon Rahm,\u00a0Legion XIII\u00a0(68-63-66-71)\u00a0 T3\u00a0(-17)\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Bryson DeChambeau,\u00a0Crushers\u00a0(66-67-64-74);\u00a0Tyrrell Hatton,\u00a0Legion XIII\u00a0(69-69-66-67);\u00a0Peter…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476463,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-476462","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476462","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476462"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476462\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476463"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476462"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476462"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476462"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
