By TERRY LYONS, Editor of Digital Sports Desk
PALM HARBOR - Sungjae Im (1st/-11) carded a third-round (69) to hold a two-stroke lead over Brandt Snedeker and David Lipsky. Im holds a 54-hole lead/co-lead for the second time on TOUR (2022 Wyndham Championship/finished T2), but is 0-for-1 in converting to victory.
Im made his third start on TOUR this season after suffering from wrist injury in January. Thus far: MC/Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, MC/THE PLAYERS Championship). This is his fourth Valspar Championship appearance (T4/2019, T29/2021, MC/2024).
His most recent Top-10 finish on TOUR came at the 2025 Masters Tournament (T-5).
Brandt Snedeker (T2/-9) etched a bogey-free 4-under (67), tied for the low round of the day with Adrien Dumont de Chassart and S.H. Kim. Snedeker seeks his 10th PGA TOUR victory in 468th start at 45 years, 3 months, 14 days.
