There is a particular kind of professional golf heartbreak that the rest of us cannot quite imagine.

After 36 holes at Innisbrook, Sungjae Im sits two clear of the field after a Friday 65 that featured seven birdies and only a single dropped shot. The South Korean has long been one of the most consistent ball-strikers on Tour, and the Copperhead is exactly the kind of course that rewards his methodical, repeatable approach.
