You’d need a heart of stone not to wish Kim In-Kyung all the best at Mission Hills this afternoon. Back in 2012, Kim left herself a one-foot putt for victory in the ANA Inspiration’s earlier guise, the Kraft Nabisco. A quick tap-in, and then she’d be taking the famous celebratory leap into Poppie’s Pond, before being awarded the Dinah Shore Trophy and draped in the Champions Robe.
Easy as you like. Only Kim – who had made a couple of fine birdie putts from 15 and 20 feet at 16 and 17 – allowed herself to be devoured by golf’s demons and yipped the tiddler. Her South Korean compatriot Sun-young Yoo won the resulting play-off at the first hole. Most of Kim’s demons were happily exorcised by her 2017 British Open win, a major finally landed. But one or two remain, because Mission Hills owes her a little something. If she prevails today, there’ll be wild and glorious scenes at Poppie’s Pond.
