On the 26th (Korean time), Seongjae Lim tied for 7th with 4 under par 68 strokes in the first round of the World Golf Championship (WGC) Workday Championship held at the Concession Golf Club (par 72, 7403 yards) in Bradenton, Florida, USA.

Im Seong-jae, who entered the fierce competition for the championship challenge, was the only regret that both holes 7 and 13 were par 5s.
Im Seong-jae said, “I took a break for two weeks, prepared well this week, and I think I was able to get good grades in the first round. I hope I hit the rest of the round as well as today.”
This tournament was mainly composed of players within the 50th place in the men’s golf world rankings, and only 72 players got the chance. This is to compete for the championship without dropping the cut.

Matthew Wolf (USA), who won the 2019 3M Open, caught 4 birdies, but ended up in the bottom of 11 over par 83 strokes after beating 4 bogies, 2 double bogies, and 1 triple bogie and quadruple bogie. Wolf eventually finished the first round and abstained.
