Scottie Scheffler recently said Kim is working incredibly hard behind the scenes, and it was great to see that hard work pay off on day one at Colonial.

The South Korean is currently sitting tied at the top of the leaderboard for the first time on the PGA Tour in two years.

The three-time PGA Tour winner addressed the media in Fort Worth on Thursday evening.

Kim responded when asked about the state of his game right now.

“Yeah, I played really nicely,“ the 23-year-old said.

“Obviously no wind, soft green conditions on the course. I would say probably one of the best golf courses we play just because it’s not super long, but it’s super hard. It’s just a hard golf course.

“I felt like I did a really good job of just kind of putting myself in positions, giving myself a lot of opportunities, and obviously taking care of those opportunities helped.“

He then responded when asked about his game-plan for the rest of the week.

“Yeah, it’s only Thursday,“ Kim admitted.

“Like I said, instead of thinking about the play or the finish, every day I’m trying to build on what I’m working on and putting all the pieces together where hopefully I can keep getting my game better where I feel comfortable and start competing at a high level consistently.“

Tom Kim reveals what he has been working on

Kim was asked by reporters to share what he has been specifically working on recently.

“Yeah, obviously working on a few things, new swing coach, and just kind of getting back to the things that I’ve done so well,“ he replied.

“It’s kind of nice, I’ve worked really hard on fundamentals. That’s kind of what I’ve been working on.

“It’s nice to not be able to change so much but be able to make some tweaks where I felt like I was — what I wanted to get better at and the little things that are just kind of combining.

“I haven’t really changed much with my golf swing, but the little things that I’ve changed have allowed me to start hitting it better.

“I would say the confidence out there is getting a lot higher, too, which is nice.“
