Kim back in Ryder contention

AFTER a period when the media spotlight was more on his penchant for parties rather than his hooking and slicing, Anthony Kim has certainly got his act back together.

And that was part of a great week for American Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin at The Masters. Certainly a better one than for opposite number Colin Montgomerie.

As well as winner Phil Mickelson and world number one Tiger Woods moving from outside the automatic qualifying spots to first and seventh in the points table respectively – Pavin does not want to have to use two of his four wild cards on them – Kim has shot up to second in the rankings these past two weeks.
