Scottie Scheffler posted his second 68 of the week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Saturday.
Scheffler is sitting on 13-under par heading into the final round at TPC Southwind on Sunday, after shooting rounds of 68, 61 and 68.
Sungjae Im and Sam Burns are two strokes adrift of the world number one with 18 holes left to play in Memphis.
Scottie Scheffler played alongside Sungjae Im on Saturday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, with the South Korean posting a 67 to remain in the hunt.
However, Im will be in the penultimate pairing on Sunday, with Scheffler set to play alongside his good friend Sam Burns in the final group.
Im, 28, would have learned a lot from watching how Scottie Scheffler operates close up in Memphis on Saturday.
Sungjae Im comments on playing with Scottie Scheffler on day three of the FedEx St. Jude
Im addressed the media after his third round on Saturday at TPC Southwind.
The South Korean responded when asked what it was like to play alongside the world number one in Memphis.
“I played with Scottie at 3M Open and enjoyed it. Today I also enjoyed it,“ Im said.
“I was watching him playing a lot of good shots and learned a lot. Hopefully I can keep it going through the weekend.
“Of course he’s the No. 1 player in the world. It was good to see him playing well, and a lot of good putts as well.
“I just want to focus on each shot. Every shot matters. So I just try to stay patient and focus on my game.“
Sungjae Im needs to go low on Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude
Sungjae Im will be playing alongside Jake Knapp in the penultimate group on Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
He will have to play very well to put any kind of pressure on Scheffler early on in the round.
The 28-year-old from South Korea is certainly capable, but much will depend on how Scottie Scheffler performs on Sunday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
If the world number one plays his best golf, there will only be one winner, regardless of how well anyone else plays.
