Kim Jong-un, the new supreme leader of North Korea following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il, shamed his father's memory and his entire nation today by shooting a 7-under par 64 at the Pyongyang National Golf Links. Jong-un, despite being in his mid-20s, finished 30 strokes behind his father's best score. According to North Korean state media, Jong-il once fired a 38-under 34 on the 7,700-yard Pyongyang course, including 11 holes-in-one.

The pathetic performance calls into question Jong-un's ability to lead the Communist nation, which had been headed for 18 years by Jong-il and earned much pride over the seemingly impossible athletic exploits of their miniature dictator.

"I was very happy with my round," said Jong-un. "You always feel like you've left a few shots out there — a putt or two here and there, a bad drive or something — but that's the way golf is. A 64 is a good score."

But after signing his scorecard, a coup was attempted by one of Pyongyang National's maintenance workers.
