PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic — Likely needing to win to get a Masters spot through the world ranking, Sungjae Im rebounded from an early double bogey to take the second-round lead Friday in the PGA Tour's Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship.
"After that bad start, my goal was to remain calm throughout the rest of my round," Im said. "I'm hitting the ball really well, so I think that led to a lot of my birdies. Being able to control my mind helped me get those birdies as well."
A day before his 21st birthday, the South Korean player finished with his second straight 5-under 67 for a one-stroke lead over Jonathan Byrd (67), Aaron Baddeley (67), Paul Dunne (69) and George McNeill (65).
