Golfer Bio Kim Suspended 3 Years by Korean Tour for Giving Spectators the Finger
Money leader Bio Kim was handed a three-year suspension by the Korean Tour on Tuesday after he flipped off fans during the final round of theย DGB Financial Group Volvik Daegu Gyeongbuk Open in Gumi, South Korea, over the weekend.
Golf.com tweeted a GIF of Kim making an obscene gesture toward the gallery after seemingly being unhappy with his tee shot:
According to the Korea Heraldย (h/tย ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach), Kim was angry that aย cellphone camera went off during hisย swing, which resulted in his drive going roughly 100 yards.
Despite the poor shot, Kim went on to win the tournament, marking his second victory of the year on the Korean Tour.
The Korean Tour released a statement after theย Korean Professional Golfers' Associationย voted unanimously to suspend Kim for three years and fine him $8,350 in American dollars:ย "Kim Bi-o damaged the dignity of a golfer with etiquette violation and inappropriate behavior."
Kim, 29, is a five-time winner on the Korean Tour and three-time winner on the OneAsia Tour. He also won theย 2008 Korean Amateur Open before going pro in 2009.
He has spent time on the PGA and Web.com Tours, and he appeared in the 2013 U.S. Open, finishing in a tie for 45th.
