At the RBC Heritage, a special tournament on the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour, where the champion wears a red jacket following the Masters’ green jacket, Lim Seong-jae (25) was ranked 7th as a candidate for the championship.
Im Seong-jae will participate in this tournament held at Harbor Town Golf Links (par 71, 7213 yards), Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, USA for four days from the 14th Korean time. Lim Seong-jae tied for 13th in this competition last year and finished in 21st last year.
When the PGA Tour announced the power rankings of the players participating in this special event, it predicted Im Seong-jae’s chances of winning the 7th. He hit 5 under par in the third round at the Masters last week, but could not reduce the number of strokes on the final day and finished in a tie for 16th.
In addition, Korean players Si-woo Kim (28), Joo-hyung Kim (21), and Gyeong-hoon Lee (32), who performed well at the Masters last week, will all participate.

Kim Joo-hyung, who finished with a good score of 16th place in his first appearance in the Masters, is also expected.
The champion of this tournament, which started in 1969 under the name of ‘Heritage Golf Classic’ and celebrated its 54th this year, is characterized by wearing a red jacket with a traditional Scottish tartan pattern.

Cameron Young (USA), who finished 3rd in last year’s tournament, was placed 2nd in the candidate list, and Colin Morikawa (USA), who had an accurate iron shot, was placed 3rd in the rankings.
