Lim Ohng-jae (26, CJ), who shockingly failed to make the cut at last week's American Express competition, which was expected to be a favorite, will recover his honor.
The Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $9.3 million) of the PGA Tour, which will be held at Torrey Pines Golf Course (par 72) in San Diego, California, the U.S., will be held on the 22nd (Korea time). 토토사이트
Im Sung-jae got off to a good start by winning the third place in The Sentry, the season's opening game, but failed to make the cut at the American Express last week. Initially, he was expected to win the top prize as he topped the power ranking, which is expected to win the title.
However, Im Sung-jae's performance was less than expected. Im Sung-jae got off to a worst start on the first day at 5-over par. On the second day, he displayed concentration and reduced seven pars, but failed to rebound on the third day of the tournament, and left the golf course bitterly.
Lim Sung-jae will reorganize his battle lines and recover his honor at the Farmers Insurance Open, which he has a good memory of. Lim Sung-jae failed to make the cut at this competition last year, but his strength is that his compatibility with the course is not bad as he tied for sixth place in 2022 and tied for fourth place in 2023.
Lim ranked third alone in The Sentry, adding 1.36 million dollars to his total prize money of 3,125,508. He became the second Korean player to surpass 30 million dollars after Choi Kyung-ju (32,803,596 dollars). If Lim wins the championship, he will earn 1.62 million dollars in prize money, breaking Choi Kyung-ju (54)'s record for the most prize money awarded by Koreans in the PGA Tour.
However, there are many outstanding contenders to win the title. Leading contenders are Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, Ludvik Arbery of Sweden, Keegan Bradley and Sahis Tigala of the U.S.
Among the Korean players, Lee Kyung-hoon (33), Kim Si-woo (29, CJ), and Kim Sung-hyun (26, Shinhan Financial Group), who has lost the seed and is participating in the concert, will participate.
