Anthony Kim Rusty Again at LIV Golf Hong Kong But Beats Phil Mickelson

Anthony Kim continues to acclimate to the challenges professional golf after his mysterious 12-year hiatus.

Coming off of a last-place finish with scores of 76-76-74 in Jeddah, the 38-year-old fired a 76 in his opening round Friday in Hong Kong to kick off his second start on LIV. Kim, a three-time PGA Tour winner, last played at a Tour event at the 2012 Wells Fargo Championship. He disappeared from the public eye shortly after as injuries derailed his career. But now pro golf’s mystery man is back. 

On Friday Kim struggled in his opening holes, going 4-over through four with a double at his second hole, the par-4 11th. Kim steadied from there, playing the next nine in 1-under par before closing with two more bogeys.
