Michael Kim had a perfect reaction after Viktor Hovland knocked him out of the Tour Championship

There was plenty of drama on Sunday at the BMW Championship—even if everyone knew a Scottie Scheffler win was inevitable. (Sorry, Robert MacIntyre.)
That’s because many players behind those two on the leaderboard at Caves Valley were jockeying for position in the FedEx Cup standings with a trip to the Tour Championship on the line. The top 30 at the end of the day earned a spot at the PGA Tour’s biggest money grab event this week. And as always, there were those on both sides of the postseason bubble.

But no one had their bubble burst in more brutal fashion than Michael Kim. It’s been a stellar season for the 2018 John Deere Classic winner and current heir to the Golf Twitter King throne if Max Homa is really off the platform. But with his season on the line late on Sunday, he got knocked out of the top 30 thanks to a Viktor Hovland birdie putt on the final hole. The worst part? He had a front-row seat.

Hovland’s seven-footer knocked Kim down to 10th place out of a tie for ninth, causing him to lose just enough points to drop to No. 31 in the FedEx Cup standings. Ouch.

As he’s known to do, Kim jumped on Twitter to share his feelings as he waited for confirmation of his fate:

And then he added this funny line when it was official:

Well played, Michael. As always. Even if your play on the course was only excruciatingly close to being good enough to advance to the season finale.
