Kim Si-woo and Im Sung-jae will compete in this week's PGA Championship in Pennsylvania. The two South Korean PGA Tour veterans bring strong recent form into the second major of the year.

Sungjae Im shot a third-round 69 to take a two-shot lead at 11-under par in the Valspar Championship at Innisbrook’s Copperhead Course. The South Korean overcame military training and a wrist injury that sidelined him for the first seven events. The third round paused briefly after a young spectator was hit by a golf cart.
