[와이드스포츠 임성윤 기자]Im Seong-jae (23), who started defending his first title in his life, was ranked at the top on the first day.
On the 19th (Korean time), Seongjae Lim won two under par 68 strokes in the first round of the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour Honda Classic (total prize money of $7 million) held at the PGA National Golf Club (par70) in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA on the 19th (Korean time). Hit.
By hitting a 9-under-par 61, it was 7 shots behind Matt Jones (USA), who took the lead alone.
The first buddy came from hole 3 (par 5). Im Seong-jae, who sent a good tee shot, aimed directly at the green with the second shot, but unfortunately the ball fell into the bunker. However, I lightly reduced the number of strokes by putting the third shot from the bunker around the pin.
There is also regret. The second shot on the 4th hole (par 4) fell into the bunker again, and in the 5th hole (par 3), he made a ‘3 putt’ to allow successive viewing.
Im Seong-jae, who had been stagnant, caught a birdie on the 9th hole (par 4), turned the batting number to the origin, and went to the second half.
He joined the under-par rank again as a birdie on the 10th hole (par 4), and there was a crisis in the 15th hole (par 3) and the 17th hole (par 3), but they all showed off their crisis management ability to protect the par.
Im Seong-jae, who passed the crisis, was a tap-in buddy that puts the third shot right next to the pin on the 18th hole (par 5).
Noh Seung-yeol (30) recorded an even par 70 and Lee Gyeong-hoon a 2-over par 72.
