South Korean golfer Sungjae Im, nicknamed Ironman Im, showed nerves of steel to fight back from a disastrous start at the Masters Tournament, battling to a gutsy 1-under 71 in the third round for sole third place and five behind the leader, Scottie Scheffler of the United States here.
World No. 1 Scheffler, who has won three of his last five PGA Tour events, carded a 71 and will take a three-shot lead into the final round over The Players Championship winner, Cameron Smith of Australia who forced his way into the final pairing following a second 68 of the week.
