Sung Kang gets first win at AT&T Byron Nelson..final scoreboard

PGA Tour AT&T Byron Nelson final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2019/at-t-byron-nelson/leaderboard.html

We're used to women from South Korea winning on the LPGA Tour but with the ladies on a break right now it was fellow countryman Sung Kang who had the week of his golfing life shooting a final round -4 67 -23 total to win the rain delayed AT&T Byron Nelson by two shots for his first PGA Tour title. Due to earlier rain delays he played 27 holes on Sunday.

He is 31 and has been golfing around the world since 2011 with only one win in 2013 in Korea to show for his trevails.

In a year where several others including Corey Connors have changed their lives with a first win, Kang is no different. He wins $1.4m, 2 years full exemption including the Masters and a spot a this week's PGA Championship at Bethpage amongst many other bonuses.

Speaking of the PGA Championship, Brooks Koepka warmed up for his title defence there with a 4th place finish on Sunday, closing with a -6 65 -20 total.

Roger Sloan made the cut but didn't survive the 2nd cut so he MDF meaning he gets paid but didn't play the 4th round.

Scott Piercy had a remarkable week as well,  didn't make a bogey, hit 60/72 fairways, was 12/12 scrambling and finished T2 69 67 63 64 -21 along with Matt Every.
