Kim dominates Wachovia

Tiger Woods was the defending champion of the Wachovia Championship held in Charlotte. However, he couldn't make the tournament because of his knee surgery that kept him out. However, I'm not quite sure him playing would have made a difference after seeing Anthony Kim's performance this year. Kim finished today's round with a 69 and won by a five shot margin over Ben Curtis.

But that's not really the exciting part of it--first, Kim's 16 under total broke Tiger's tournament record by 3 shots, and the win made him the youngest on tour to win since 2002 (He's 22). He used a combination of booming drives and pinpoint accuracy around the green to basically blow away the competition.

I love seeing things like this happen on the tour, not only because of the outstanding play, but with Kim once again proving that parity in golf is not such a bad thing. I am sure that everyone has their favorites week in and week out, but with having new players like Kim come along and make it that much tougher and give the PGA much more credibility and excitability (yes, I know Tiger is the marketing king, but he can't win every time....).
