GREAT EXUMA, Bahamas (AP) Sungjae Im closed with a 7-under 65 to win the season-opening Great Exuma Classic on the Web.com Tour.
Im became the 16th player in the history of PGA Tour’s developmental tour to win in his first start.
The 19-year-old from South Korea played bogey-free in windy conditions Tuesday at Sandals Emerald Bay. He finished at 13-under 275 for a four-shot victory over Carlos Ortiz of Mexico. Ortiz birdied the final hole for a 69 and broke out a five-way tie for second. That was worth an additional $25,200 for Ortiz.
