Kim charged up the leaderboard with a torrid back nine that included four birdies and an eagle. But a bogey at the last for his only dropped shot of the day cost him outright victory.
It was a long Sunday, as players returned early in the morning to complete the weather-delayed third round.
Vegas played his last five holes of the third round in even par for 72 and a three-shot lead entering the final round. Vegas, who shot a sensational second-round 60, had started the third round with a six-stroke lead.
The Venezuelan shot another 72 in the final round to tie for fourth at 15-under, two strokes behind American Michael Johnson.
But the day belonged to Baddeley, making his 134th start since his last triumph.
“It’s been tough at times, but this year has been really good, I’ve played really well,” he said.
“I felt I had a good chance today even though I was starting three back. I felt so good, I was driving the ball as good as I’ve ever driven it.”
