Sungjae Im's Ball-Striking Must Wake Up at 3M Open
Sungjae Im has been riding the struggle bus for much of the season, capped off by finishing T53 or worse in six straight events. He's in need of a serious turnaround and hopes to find it at the 3M Open, where he's posted two top-15 finishes and a missed cut in three appearances. A historically strong ball-striker, Im has been hemorrhaging strokes on approach, which is a key factor for success at TPC Twin Cities. He ranks 174th on approach, losing 0.937 strokes per round, but is 25th off the tee at plus-0.382 and third around the green at plus-0.551. He's one of the more accurate drivers on tour, ranking 12th in accuracy, but is just 102nd in driving distance. He also ranks in only the 10th percentile in proximity from 150 to 200 yards, a range that made up 34.7% of approach shots here last year. At $9,000 on DraftKings, this sets up as a solid bounce-back spot for Im, though he'll be tough to trust in DFS lineups given his recent form.
