South Korean golfers finish near bottom at Masters

The two South Korean players at the Masters, Im Sung-jae and Kim Si-woo, finished 46th and 47th among the 54 who made the cut. Im ended at three-over 291 with a final-round 77, while Kim was four-over 292.

At Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, Im Sung-jae closed his seventh Masters with a 77 in the final round on Sunday (local time), finishing alone in 46th at three-over 291 among the 54 players who made the cut. He opened with a 76, followed by back-to-back 69s, but faltered with four bogeys and a double bogey against one birdie. Im hit only nine of 14 fairways and 10 of 18 greens in regulation, his worst marks of the week.

Kim Si-woo, in his ninth Masters, posted 75-73-72-72 and never broke 70, ending 47th at four-over 292. His final round featured five birdies offset by five bogeys, capped by a birdie on the par-4 18th—one of just eight there Sunday. Kim reached 10 fairways and 11 greens, below field averages.

World No. 2 Rory McIlroy defended his title with a 12-under 276, edging top-ranked Scottie Scheffler by one shot in the season's first major. He joined Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Tiger Woods as the fourth to win consecutive Masters crowns.
