Golf-Korean Kim wins by five strokes in Greensboro

Aug 21 (Reuters) - Kim Si-woo made his 38th start on the PGA Tour a winning one when he clinched a commanding five-stroke victory at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina on Sunday. An hour-plus rain delay with two holes left merely postponed Kim's celebration at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro. He carded 67 to finish at 21-under-par 259, while Englishman Luke Donald (67) put his mediocre recent play behind him to take second place on 16-under. Kim, 21, is the second South Korean to win in Greensboro, 11 years after his mentor K.J. Choi. Kim started the day with a four-shot cushion and pretty much ended any suspense with four front-nine birdies. Three bogeys in five holes from the 10th offered his pursuers a glimmer of hope, but a birdie at the par-five 15th steadied the ship.
