[Golf Topic] 'PO Ranking No.1' Im Sung-jae Now "Practice, Fishing, and Watching Dramas"

[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○... "Practice on weekdays, go fishing on weekends, and even watch dramas."

This is the current status of Im Sung-jae (22, CJ Logistics, photo), who is ranked No. 1 in the PO ranking. On the 13th (Korean time), in an interview with the U.S. PGA Tour, he said, "I have currently set up a base camp in Tampa, Florida," and introduced his recent situation: "It was boring practicing alone, but recently a coach came from Korea to check my swing, so time seems to pass quickly." He added, "There haven't been major changes in my swing, but he looks at things like tempo and downswing path."

Im Sung-jae has been staying in Tampa since the abrupt suspension of The Players, the 'fifth major,' right after the first round in March. After participating in as many as 35 tournaments last year, using hotels, he is settling in one place for over a month for the first time in a while. He plays 9 holes every day, and his daily routine is similar with afternoon physical training and swing practice. He smiled and said, "I sometimes enjoy fishing on weekends," and "I recently finished watching the popular drama 'Itaewon Class.'"
