What more could a McConnell Golf member want than what was delivered during the 83rd annual Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club?
The 20 year old Kim became the second youngest PGA Tour winner since World War II (Jordan Spieth was 19 years, 10 months when he won the 2013 John Deere Classic) and the first born in the 21st century He was born in 2002 in Seoul, South Korea His father, Chang Ik, had been a professional golfer and is now a teaching pro. The family moved around when he was young; their residences included China, Australia, the Philippines and Thailand To call Sunday at Sedgefield a special day for Kim would be an understatement His 8 under par 27 on the front nine tied for the second lowest nine hole score in PGA Tour history. To top it off, the Wyndham’s youngest winner ever also clinched a place in the all important, season ending FedEx Cup Playoffs Kim wasn’t the only Wyndham competitor who enjoyed their walk in the park on Sunday Sedgefield member Alex Smalley and Chesson Hadley both secured their PGA Tour cards for next season by shooting scorching 64s. Only Kim and Stephan Jaeger (62) fared better in the final round. Hadley finished tied for eighth place while Smalley finished tied for 13th to earn their share of the tournament’s $7 3 million purse Smalley played the tournament wearing the initials “JW” on his cap to honor 50 year old Jeff Womack, a popular Sedgefield member who died unexpectedly a few weeks earlier. The lumber salesman was a married father of two daughters Smalley, who joined Sedgefield in 2020, had played golf with Womack several times “He just kind of lit up the room whenever he walked into one, just because he had a smile on his face," Smalley told PGA Tour com’s Helen Ross “He knew everybody and was very friendly ” Hadley has a long history with McConnell Golf. He played junior golf with John McConnell’s sons growing up in Raleigh McConnell Sr was on hand when Hadley won the ACC Championship at Old North State Club. Following that important victory, McConnell offered Hadley practice privileges at his company’s portfolio of courses to help him prepare for the eGolf Tour Then in 2012, McConnell secured an entry for Hadley into the Wyndham Championship. Two years later, Hadley was named the PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year Good deeds like that are part of the reason CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz said “the great John McConnell” on the Saturday of tournament weekend, when McConnell presented Nick Faldo with a special plaque at Sedgefield’s Wall of Champions behind the ninth green as a tribute to Faldo and his legacy. In 1979, Faldo made his PGA Tour debut and competed in the Greater Greensboro Open, now known as the Wyndham Championship The five time major champion spent the last 16 years as a broadcast analyst. During the 2022 Wyndham weekend he celebrated his retirement from the CBS broadcast booth
Last but certainly not least, former McConnell Golf Junior Scholarship recipient Blake McShea, who grew up in Zebulon and played college golf at UNCW, not only Monday qualified for the Wyndham, he fired a 5 under par 65 during Friday’s second round to find himself momentarily tied for seventh place He easily made the cut and eventually finished tied for 76th in his inaugural PGA Tour event
WYNDHAM AT SEDGEFIELD COUNTRY CLUB DELIVERS THE GOODS
Start with the prerequisite, a fitting and historic champion Despite a slow start out of the station, Thomas the Train got things rolling along at Sedgefield Joohyung Kim, who adopted the American name “Tom” from his love of Thomas the Train as a boy, started the 2022 Wyndham with a dreaded “snowman” a 4 over par quadruple bogey on his very first hole of the tournament Then he started rolling along, never stopping until he was back at the station holding the Sam Snead Cup following an eye opening, five shot victory over a pair of former PGA Tour Rookies of the Year, third round leader Sungjae Im and first round leader John Huh

This summer marked the first Junior Golf Association in club history. Just like the MGA and LGA, our kids got to experience course time with friendly competition The JGA was designed to be a little bit more laid back than Operation 36, allowing students to play from different yardages and learn to hit every club in their bag Mainly their driver The picture below illustrates two students reading a putt during a Captain Choice event. Although golf is traditionally an individual sport, JGA team events allow students to learn from one another and build communication skills in a productive manner As we enter our final week of the JGA, nothing has pleased me more to see friendships blossom, students staying after weekly class and begging their parents to stay on the range for another thirty minutes. We had a great class this summer and can not wait to see what next year brings!
