Sungjae Im flirts with 59, runs away with Shriners Children's Open victory

Sungjae Im put his foot on the gas, flirted with 59 and easily won the Shriners Children’s Open on Sunday at TPC Summerlin. Here’s how it all unfolded in Las Vegas:

Leaderboard: Sungjae Im (-24), Matthew Wolff (-20), Rory Sabbatini (-19), Marc Leishman (-19), Adam Schenk (-19)

How it happened: Im began the final round three shots back of 54-hole leader Adam Schenk, but as Schenk failed to do much after birdieing his opening hole, Im charged quickly with birdies on four of his first seven holes. As fast as Im took the lead, he then pulled away even quicker with five straight birdies beginning at No.
