Sungjae Im Dealing With Atrocious Iron Play
9 months agoSungjae Im is in a funk. The South Korean is typically a ball-striking savant who can run up any leaderboard when his putter heats up. However, he has uncharacteristically lost strokes on approach in each of his last six rounds. Since Im's T5 finish at the Sentry to open the 2024 season, he's completely lost his irons. That makes this week especially difficult for golf bettors and fantasy managers alike, because the 25-year-old has remarkable history at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, placing 21st or better in all five career appearances, including two third place finishes. Most will steer clear until they see signs of life with the irons, but there's certainly a massive ceiling for Im if he finally turns the approach game around this week, especially at a value price of $8,000 on DraftKings.
