South Korean golfer Tom Kim, 24, won Asian Games gold by three strokes, finishing 18 under par after a final-round 64, which earns him an exemption from most of South Korea's mandatory military service. Men in South Korea normally serve 18 to 21 months before age 28, but Asian Games champions and Olympic medallists are excused beyond a basic training period of under a month. The exemption is a major career boost for athletes, who would otherwise face lengthy interruptions at their competitive peak.
