Michael Kim braces for 'brutal hangover' after epic French Open victory celebration

Golf Twitter darling Michael Kim was on top of the golf world on Sunday after winning the French Open. But a big victory celebration had him bracing for a potential 'brutal' hangover on Monday. Hey, that's the cost of doing business. Or, something like that.
Anyway, the American in Paris held off a host of challengers including Brooks Koepka during the final round of the FedEx Open de France. The 32-year-old wound up winning by one shot thanks to this clutch par save on the final hole to post a 16-under-par total for the week and become the first U.S. golfer to win the DP World Tour event in 53 years:
When that number held up, Kim had his first win since his lone PGA Tour victory at the 2018 John Deere Classic. Seven years is a long drought, so, understandably, he lived it up after.
He also happened to be in the birthpace of bubbly. And as Kim shared on Twitter, he got after it.
Well-deserved. Especially after getting daggered by Viktor Hovland in the FedEx Cup Playoffs last month. Anyway, here was Michael's follow-up message to the party pic in which he worried about his Monday morning flight back to Dallas:
If there's a scientific hangover formula based on how big of a bottle you're drinking from, then Kim could be in trouble. Anyway, congrats, Michael. We hope you didn't end up going full Tyrrell Hatton—and that you wound up making that flight.
