[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is the exciting moment for Im Sung-jae (24), ranked 21st in the world.

On the 7th (Korean time), at the Sedgefield Golf Club (par 70, 7,131 yards) in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA, during the third day of the Wyndham Championship (total prize money $7.3 million), the final regular season event of the 2021/2022 PGA Tour, Im surged with a 4-under-par over 11 holes to leap into a tie for first place (11-under-par). Brandt Snedeker (USA) shared the lead, while 'special temporary member' Kim Joo-hyung (20) and John Huh (USA) were tied for third place (10-under-par). Due to severe weather followed by sunset, most players were unable to complete their rounds.

Starting from a tie for fourth place, one stroke behind, Im Sung-jae showcased perfect play with four birdies and no bogeys. He made 'stepping stone birdies' on holes 3 and 5 and added a birdie on the 8th hole (par 4) to reduce three strokes in the front nine, then added another birdie on the 11th hole (par 4) in the back nine. His putting average per hole was an impressive 1.50. However, the suspension of play due to bad weather was unfortunate. This marks his second win of the season and third career victory, coming 10 months after the Shriners Children's Open last October.

Kim Joo-hyung, who was co-leader the previous day, recorded two birdies over 10 holes. His fairway hit rate and greens in regulation were both 100%. John Huh also lowered his score by three strokes, hoping for his second career win in 10 years since his victory at the 2012 Mayakoba Golf Classic. Lee Kyung-hoon (31), the 'AT&T Champion,' improved his position to a tie for 23rd place (6-under-par) with a 4-under-par over 17 holes. Billy Horschel (USA) is tied for 35th place (5-under-par), and Kim Si-woo (27) is tied for 66th place (1-under-par, 209 strokes).
