Sungjae Im, Honda Classic Winner: A Long Wait

I’ve been waiting so long to see Sungjae Im’s first PGA tour win. Sungjae Im is the highest ranker among Korean PGA players. I watched many tournaments he was on the first page of leaderboard and went further down from leaders. He showed consistent play in 2019 and became the rookie of year 2019. But he had no luck with a trophy.

Today he looked so calm, but confident. As he mentioned on his interview, all experience as one of leaders at many tournaments helped him less nervous on the final competition. Yeah! He made it!

Ever since I met him in person at Genesis Invitational, I became a big follower of his play. He was probably the nicest player I’ve seen. At 18th hole’s fairway during his pro-am round, he came to my buddy and me, and gave autographs. At the putting green, he welcomed us and posed for a photo.

I am so happy for him today. Time to go for Fedex cup!
