View original image[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ‘Shriners Champ’ Im Sung-jae (23, CJ Logistics) is on a smooth course.
On the 13th (Korean time), at the Memorial Park in Houston, Texas, USA (Par 70, 7,021 yards), during the second day of the 8th event of the 2021/2022 PGA Tour season, the Hewlett Packard Houston Open (total prize money $7.5 million), Im added 2 under par over 26 holes and stood tied for 20th place (2 under par 138 strokes). Martin Trainer leads (10 under par 130 strokes), with Kevin Tway (both from the USA) in second place (9 under par 131 strokes). Due to sunset, about 60 players could not finish their rounds.
Im Sung-jae showed resilience by making 2 birdies on the 8 holes he did not complete the previous day. However, in the continued second round, he exchanged 2 birdies for 2 bogeys and could not reduce his score. After gaining momentum with birdies on the 3rd hole (par 5) and 12th hole, a bogey on the 13th hole (also par 4) halted his progress. He also failed to make par on the final 18th hole, losing one stroke. His putting average of 2.00 strokes per hole was a hindrance. He is currently 8 strokes behind the leader.
