Im closed with a seven-under 64 in the final round to finish in solo seventh at the TOUR Championship.
Im was making his sixth straight TOUR Championship start and put together a very good showing to close out the season. Im ranked fifth in SG: Off-the-Tee and second in SG: Around-the-Green at East Lake. Im closes the season with 10 top-12 finishes. He will look forward to trying to help the International Team at the Presidents Cup in a few weeks.
Im carded a two-under 69 on Sunday at The Open Championship to finish in a share of seventh place.
Im looked to be in danger of missing the weekend after an opening round 76, but he ultimately made the cut on the number and then made 10 birdies and an eagle over the final two rounds under difficult scoring conditions to climb into the top-10. He was led by his short game, ranking 14th in SG: Around the green and fifth in putting for the tournament. It's Im's sixth top-10 finish over his past nine starts.
Im recorded a one-under 69 on Sunday at the Genesis Scottish Open to finish 14-under and in a share of fourth place.
Im had a four-shot deficit to make up to start the day, but he had an uneven round with four birdies and three bogeys and never worked his way into contention. He was led by his short game this week, gaining 6.3 strokes around the green and putting combined. Im has a pair of top-5s over his last three starts and is now up to 10th in the FedExCup Standings.
