American star-in-the-making Kim seals Wachovia
American Anthony Kim, 22, became the youngest PGA Tour winner for six years after clinching victory in the Wachovia Championship on Sunday night. Kim had been leaving going into the final round, and his 69 sealed a five-shot victory over Ben Curtis.
The delighed 22-year-old, who only turned professional last year and is now being touted as a potential Ryder Cup wildcard, said: "This is what I've been dreaming about my whole life, and fulfilling this dream is awesome.
"It's been a long ride but it sure is worth it. I'm a little numb right now but that walk up 18 was the best feeling of my entire life.
"I had chills going up and down my spine. I knew my life was changing on the green when I was lining up that putt. All these emotions starting running through me and I realised what I had done."

That's an incredible feat both for one so young and for just turning professional a year ago. Look out Tiger...Anthony will be giving you a run for your money on the course soon.
