Im Sung-jae finished tied for 15th at the PGA Tour Rocket Classic, which had a total purse of $10 million.
On August 3, in the final round held at the Detroit Golf Club in Michigan, Im recorded four birdies and one bogey for a score of 3-under 67.
With a total score of 11-under 269, Im ended the tournament tied for 15th alongside Keegan Bradley and Duck Kim, both from the United States.
As a result of this tournament, Im's FedEx Cup ranking improved by one spot to 57th. With only the Wyndham Championship remaining in the regular tour events, his entry into the first round of the playoffs (FedEx St. Jude Championship), which is open to the top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings, is virtually assured.
Fellow competitor Kim Si-woo struggled on the final day, finishing with a disappointing performance. He recorded two birdies and six bogeys for a score of 4-over 74, ending with a total of 6-under 274, which placed him tied for 42nd. His FedEx Cup ranking remained unchanged at 7th.
Meanwhile, the tournament was won by Michael Torbjornsen of the United States, who finished with a total score of 18-under 262, holding off a challenge from Xander Schauffele, also from the U.S., who finished in second place at 16-under 264.
Torbjornsen, who made his PGA Tour debut in 2024, achieved his first career victory after two years. He earned a winner's prize of $1,808,000 (approximately 26.12 billion won).
Torbjornsen's FedEx Cup ranking surged to 38th.
Davis Riley, who was the sole leader after three rounds, was unable to lower his score on the final day, finishing in third place with a total of 15-under 265.
