The 24-year-old led going into the final round and produced a brilliant six-under-par 64 to finish 18 under and claim victory by three strokes. There were signs of nerves with a bogey on the 17th but, after five birdies and an eagle prior to that, Kim had the margin for error and tapped in for par on the last before letting out a roar, his relief clear to see.

Able-bodied South Korean males are usually required to undertake between 18 and 21 months of military service before the age of 28. However, the government rewards Asian Games champions and Olympic medal-winners of any colour with a service exemption bar basic training, which lasts less than a month.

Athletes who have previously secured the exemption include former Tottenham footballer Son Heung-min, who served for only three weeks in 2020 having won the Asian Games with his country two years earlier. The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Sports landscape.
