PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Sungjae Im is tireless, and no longer winless.
A 21-year-old South Korean, Im started fast and finished stronger on Sunday, winning the Honda Classic by one shot over Mackenzie Hughes and Tommy Fleetwood for his first career PGA Tour victory in his 50th attempt.
Im shot four-under 66 on Sunday, finishing at six under to match the second-highest winning score since the Honda moved to PGA National in 2007. He was the tour’s rookie of the year last season, plus has played more tournaments and more rounds than anyone else since the 2018-19 season.
