Tom Kim was tied for the lead after the first round of the Genesis Scottish Open, joining four others who opened with 65. Two of the five missed the cut, but Kim went on to win the tournament by two shots over Min Woo Lee. Kim had played the tournament each of the previous four years, finishing no worse than 17th, but still went off at around 80-1 to win. Nevertheless, he won for the fourth time on the PGA Tour and cashed a check for $1,575,000. Do you remember checks? Ah... the good old days. It's hard to believe Kim hadn't won in nearly three years given that he just turned 24. He seems primed for his third Presidents Cup appearance this year, and he will look to carry his momentum into the Open Championship, where he finished second in 2023 at Royal Liverpool.

Ben Tepedino was the only player in our league to start Tom Kim, and that usually makes for a good week! Ben won the Skin by riding his group of Kim, Rory McIlroy (T7) and Chris Gotterup (T11) all weekend. Ben held off Lanyard Asakawa of Jumbo, who needed a Min Woo Lee win to take the top spot. Great work!

There wasn't much movement on the overall leaderboard, as Jeff Bates of Marietta Tee Club is still on top of the league and Blair Rogers of Tristan's Jays still sits about $3.9M back. Rick Lee of Brickyard Dogs leads Segment 4 by just more than $3M heading to the final week of the segment. Our Big Mover of the Week was my father, Sam Book, whose SRB team jumped five spots to 46th overall. Well done!

The Open Championship is the last tournament in Segment 4, and also the final major of the year. Royal Birkdale in North West England is the host, and while Scottie Scheffler is the defending Open Champion, Jordan Spieth won the 2017 edition at Royal Birkdale with a spectacular run late in the final round. The Skin is worth $50 this week, so please set those lineups early, as no late lineups will be accepted this week. Good luck! Joe
