To describe Sungjae Im in the final round of the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas terms, the guy was on a heater.
The 23-year-old made nine birdies on Sunday at TPC Summerlin, including five in a row from Nos. 9-13, to run away with the title for his second win on the PGA Tour at 24 under. Im, winner of the 2020 Honda Classic, shot a 9-under 62 on Sunday to finish four strokes ahead of the pack.
In last year’s super season Im made 29 cuts in 35 appearances, with 16 top-25 finishes and five top 10s. The Shriners win was Im’s second start of the new season following his T-31 at last week’s Sanderson Farms Championship.
