In the $500K Pitch + Putt tournament, Sungjae Im ($10,300) was the most rostered golfer in the field at 28.47%. Im was one of the more prominent members in the competition and is coming off a career year that finished with a collection of impressive results.
The 26-year-old couldn’t recover from a disastrous first round, where he sunk a pair of double-bogeys. From that point, Im turned it on, shooting 11 under across his final two days. That impressive bounceback wasn’t enough to advance.
Wyndham Clark ($9,400) also came in with a major price tag and was rostered in 14.4% of lineups. Clark had a stellar 2024, winning the Pebble Beach Pro-Am last February. Clark went into round three four-under with an outside chance to make a run. Entering the 13th, he only needed to keep pace and sink one birdie to advance. Instead, he triple-bogeyed 18, tumbling down the leaderboard and failing to keep his hopes alive.
Tom Kim ($9,300) came into the tournament with high expectations, reflected in his price tag and 13.48% ownership. After a stagnant first two days, Kim made a furious late comeback to get back into contention. A stumble on 15, where he had trouble all weekend, ended up being the difference. The 22-year-old finished three strokes back of the cut.
Tony Finau ($9,500) was the seventh-most rostered golfer at 16.2%. “Big Tone” is a fan favorite and is coming off a 2024 campaign with five top-ten finishes. Even as one of the more established names in the field, Finau stumbled late and wasn’t able to sneak through into Sunday.
In his first round, he shot a 69, highlighted by an eagle on hole six. Finau’s Friday was even better, finishing with a 66 and a whopping seven birdies. Saturday, the struggles mounted, posting a two-over and missing the nine-under threshold to avoid the cut.
