Kim Joo-hyung, Im Sung-jae and Kim Siwoo start the first round at 2-under par, tied for first in the FedExCup standings.
Eight strokes off the pace, the pressure is on, but it’s not an insurmountable barrier as McIlroy came from six shots down to win last year.
After taking a breather following his second victory in October last year, Kim says his scores this season have been in the 50s and 60s, but he says he’s learned more about life than golf and is determined to give it his all this week.
[KIM Joo-hyung / FedExCup Ranking No. 16: It’s always possible, it’s eight shots off, but as long as I can hit the ball without getting sick, I think I have a chance].
Lim Sung-jae is also on the rise, having finished in the top 10 in each of his last two playoffs.
He is brimming with confidence after finishing tied for second last year, the best finish by a South Korean in history, and pocketing 7.7 billion won in bonus money.
It’s his fifth consecutive final table appearance, and he’s comfortable with the familiarity of a venue within commuting distance.
[Lim, Sungjae / FedExCup Ranking No. 17: I think I’m going to start with a 2-under (Atlanta) and East Lake has a lot of good memories because I finished second last year as well….]
