Kim went into the final round a shot behind co-leaders MacIntyre, Matt Fitzpatrick and Min Woo Lee at the Renaissance Club, where an impressive blemish-free 65 put him top of a congested leaderboard.
The Korean ended on 17 under and two clear of Lee, who posted a three-under 67, to claim a first worldwide win since the 2023 Shriners Children’s Open and move back inside the world’s top 50.

MacIntyre ended four strokes back in tied-third with Fitzpatrick, Keita Nakajima and Johnny Keefer, who claimed a last-minute spot for The Open as one of the leading three players not already exempt for Royal Birkdale.
Rory McIlroy had made a Sunday charge after posting five birdies in his first seven holes, with a final-round 64 matching his lowest of the season and lifting him to tied-seventh alongside Michael Thorbjornsen.
Thorbjornsen and Victor Perez – who finished tied-ninth – claimed the other two spots for the final men’s major of the year, while defending champion Chris Gotterup and US Open winner Wyndham Clark fells to tied-11th and tied-13th respectively after one-over 71s.
