Sung-Jae Im Poised for 1st PGA Tour Victory
Last season 20-year old phenom Sung-Jae Im led the Web.com money list after week one and never relinquished that title the entire season.
Since 2013 at least 1 golfer who finished Top 5 in the https://t.co/G4q3Y7MjtM rankings won a PGA Tour event the following year. Here’s the Top 5 from this year:
1. Im Sung-jae
2. Denny McCarthy
3. Kramer Hickok
4. Bae Sang-moon
5. Anders Albertson— Kenny Kim (@KendoVT) September 24, 2018
He turned heads in his first tour start this year with a tie for fourth showing and he’s been knocking on the door more and more.
🚨 ANOTHER ACE ALERT 🚨

He’s the betting co-favorite for a reason, having been in contention in three of his last four events. There isn’t a ton of value at +1600, but this is the best bet to make for a guy 17th on the FedEx Cup Rankings in his rookie season.

| Arnold Palmer Invitational | T-3rd |
