Kim romps to big win at Wachovia

---

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - Looking for his first PGA Tour win, Anthony Kim never let up in Sunday's final round at the Wachovia Championship.

Kim closed with a three-under 69 to roll to a five-shot win, finishing his first victory at 16-under-par 272.

The 22-year-old Kim is by far the youngest winner at this event. The previous five winners all had at least 11 years of experience on the PGA Tour.

Kim also set the tournament records for margin of victory (five) and total score (272). The previous marks were two (David Toms in 2003 and Tiger Woods in 2007) and 275, which Woods posted last year.

Former British Open champion Ben Curtis closed with a seven-under 65, the low round of the day, to take second place at 11-under-par 277. Jason Bohn was one shot further back at minus-10 after a final-round 71 at Quail Hollow.
