On the 25th (local time), at the Torrey Pines South Course in San Diego, California, USA (par 72, 7,765 yards), Im finished the 4th round of the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money $9.3 million) with a 1-under 71, tying for 4th place (5-under 283). Starting from a tie for 8th, he recorded 4 birdies and 3 bogeys. This is his second ‘Top 5’ finish in three tournaments this year. He completely wiped away the disappointment of missing the cut at last week’s The American Express.

Harris English (USA) lost one stroke but secured a one-stroke victory (8-under 280). This is his 5th career win, coming 3 years and 7 months after his victory at the Travelers Championship in June 2021, with a winner’s prize of $1,674,000 (approximately 2.4 billion KRW). Sam Stevens (USA) surged with a 4-under 68 to finish second by one stroke (7-under 281). Hideki Matsuyama (Japan) and Jason Day (Australia) ended the tournament tied for 32nd place (1-over 289).

Lee Kyeong-hoon, who was tied for 4th the previous day, made 2 birdies but 5 bogeys, finishing tied for 9th (2-under 286). His iron shots lacked precision, preventing him from lowering his score. The other Korean players all failed to advance to the final round. Kim Si-woo, Kim Joo-hyung, and Kim Seong-hyun were cut early. The PGA Tour will continue with the ‘signature event’ AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am (total prize money $20 million) for four days starting on the 30th in Pebble Beach, California, USA.
