Sungjae Im is currently tied for sixth place at the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship, after opening with a 4-under-par 66 at TPC Southwind. He sits just one shot behind the five co-leaders heading into Friday&#8217;s second round.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_TPC_Southwind_Suits_Him\"><\/span><b>Why TPC Southwind Suits Him<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TPC Southwind has historically been kind to Sungjae Im. Coming into this week, he had gone 32-under par over his last 16 rounds at this course, which is a strong signal that the layout simply fits his game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His opening round backs that trend up. Here&#8217;s how his first round at TPC Southwind broke down.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Round 1 Metric<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Result<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Score<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4-under 66<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Greens in Regulation<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">72.22% (4th in field)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bunker Saves<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3-for-3<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birdies<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bogeys<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strokes_Gained_and_Scrambling\"><\/span><b>Strokes Gained and Scrambling<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His greens in regulation rate of 72.22% ranked fourth in the entire field, which is a big reason why the round came together so cleanly. On top of that, his scrambling was flawless. Every time he found a greenside bunker, he walked away with a par save, three for three on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Card_Breakdown\"><\/span><b>The Card Breakdown<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seven birdies against three bogeys made up his round at TPC Southwind. That kind of card, heavy on birdies with a manageable number of mistakes, is exactly the formula that&#8217;s worked for him at this course in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_This_Means_for_Sungjae_Ims_Playoff_Push\"><\/span><b>What This Means for Sungjae Im&#8217;s Playoff Push<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before this week, Sungjae Im arrived in Memphis sitting 53rd in the FedExCup standings. That&#8217;s outside the cutoff for next week&#8217;s 50-man BMW Championship field, which puts real pressure on this performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Playoff Detail<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Status<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FedExCup Rank Entering Event<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">53rd<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Current Tournament Position<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T6<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Projected FedExCup Rank<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">45th<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consecutive Tour Championship Appearances<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7 (2019\u20132025)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With his current T6 standing at TPC Southwind, he&#8217;s projected to climb to 45th in the FedExCup race, which would be enough to punch his ticket into the BMW Championship. That matters even more when you consider his streak. Sungjae Im has advanced to the season-ending Tour Championship for seven consecutive seasons, from 2019 through 2025. A strong weekend at TPC Southwind is critical to keeping that run alive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sungjae Im has built a career defined by consistency rather than headlines, and his 2026 season captures that perfectly. Two PGA TOUR wins, over $37 million in career earnings, and a reputation as one of the most reliable putters on tour have kept him relevant year after year. His current run at TPC Southwind, highlighted by a strong opening 66 and a T6 position, could be the spark he needs to secure a spot in the BMW Championship and extend his seven-year Tour Championship streak. Whether you&#8217;re tracking his FedExCup standing or simply following his round-by-round progress, Sungjae Im remains one of the more compelling stories on tour heading into the final stretch of the 2026 playoffs.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Explore More Players: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/sami-valimaki\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"bookmark noopener\">Sami V\u00e4lim\u00e4ki: Bio, PGA Wins, Stats &amp; 2026 Season<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_About_Sungjae_Im\"><\/span><b>FAQs About Sungjae Im<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Who is Sungjae Im?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sungjae Im is a professional golfer from Cheongju, South Korea.
