Kim, who made history last year as the first American to win the tournament in over half a century, showcased his skill with eight birdies despite the event’s relocation to Le Golf National in Guyancourt due to renovations. Seven competitors, including Jason Scrivener from Australia and Kristoffer Reitan from Norway, are closely trailing Kim with scores of 65. This performance highlights Kim’s determination and adaptability as he aims to retain his title.
