This year, Seongjae Lim's performance on the American stage fell short of expectations. He participated in 12 PGA Tour events, and the only time he finished in the top 10 was a tie for 5th at ‘The Sentry' in January, which was the season opener. He missed the cut four times and was pushed out of the top 60 twice. Meanwhile, the world ranking, which was 27th at the end of last year, fell to 42nd. Lim Seong-jae, who rebounded to a tie for 12th place in the PGA Tour RBC Heritage, which ended on the 22nd, said ahead of this tournament, “If I succeed in defending my title, I will be able to achieve good results in the PGA Tour in the future.”
Lim Seong-jae, who started the 4th round in a tie for 3rd place, two strokes behind the leading group, lost two strokes until the 7th hole (par 4), increasing the gap to the leader by five strokes. He made consecutive birdies in the 9th and 10th holes (par 4) and succeeded in making an eagle in the 12th hole (par 5), taking the sole lead. He made a two-on with a 3-wood from a distance of about 260m and then succeeded in an eagle putt from about 7.4m. He allowed a tie for the lead with a bogey on the 15th hole (par 4), but ended the match without overtime with a birdie on the 18th hole. Seongjae Lim said, “I thought it would be difficult to win, but the atmosphere changed when he successfully hit the second shot on the 9th hole.”
It was a victory that felt like a repeat of last year’s competition. Seongjae Lim started the final round in a tie for 4th place, 5 strokes behind the leader, in last year's competition held at the same venue, but ended up winning by 1 stroke. At that time, he won an eagle on the 12th hole, and with a birdie on the 18th hole, he beat Lee Jun-seok, a Korean-Australian, and stood at the top without overtime. 토토사이트 순위
