Twice a winner of the AT&T Byron Nelson tournament on the PGA Tour.

Twice a winner of the AT&T Byron Nelson tournament on the PGA Tour.

His victory by three strokes over Sam Burns in 2021 earned him the final place in the PGA Championship and last season his successful defence of the title was achieved by one shot over Jordan Spieth.

Made his major debut at the 2014 US Open, but did not appear in another for five years. By then he had captured back-to-back Korea Open titles and also had a second success on the Japan circuit.

Just missed out on automatic qualification for September’s Presidents Cup, but received a wild card from captain Trevor Immelman – that guaranteed him his place at Royal Liverpool - and won two of his three games, beating Billy Horschel in singles.

As an amateur, he won the 2009 Toyota World Junior Cup and the following year was part of the South Korean side that took gold at the Asian Games. Reached a career-high 33rd on the world rankings in October 2022 following a third place finish at the CJ Cup, only two strokes behind winner Rory McIlroy.
