Im Sung-jae finished tied for 9th at the PGA Tour's Baker's Bay Classic, which has a total purse of $8 million, marking his sixth top-10 finish of the season.
On October 11, at the Yokohama Country Club in Kanagawa, Japan, Im shot a final round of 3-under 68, with four birdies and one bogey.
With a total score of 12-under 272, Im ended the tournament tied for 9th alongside fellow Korean-American player Lee Min-woo and Australia's Adam Scott.
This event is the only PGA Tour tournament held in Asia this season and is part of the FedEx Cup Fall Series.
Im has now recorded three consecutive top-10 finishes in PGA Tour events, following a tie for 5th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship and a tie for 10th at the BMW Championship in August.
Starting the final round tied for 12th, four strokes behind the leader, Im began with a birdie on the par-4 first hole. He added two more birdies on the par-5 sixth and par-4 eighth holes, finishing the front nine with a three-shot gain to enter the top 10.
In the back nine, Im made his first bogey on the par-4 12th hole after missing the green, but quickly bounced back with a birdie on the par-4 13th hole from about three meters. He parred the remaining five holes.
After this tournament, Im will compete in the Asian Tour's SJM Macau Open starting on October 15, followed by the Korean PGA Tour's Genesis Championship at Woojeong Hills Country Club in Cheonan from October 22.
The tournament was won by Michael Brennan of the United States, who finished with a total of 16-under 268, one stroke ahead of joint runners-up Jacob Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell, both from the U.S., who finished at 15-under 269.
After winning the Wyndham Championship in August, Brennan secured his second victory of the season and his third career win on the PGA Tour, earning a winner's prize of $1.44 million.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele finished tied for 4th with a total of 13-under 271.
Lee Sang-hee, who returned to the PGA Tour after a decade since the 145th Open Championship at Royal Troon in July 2016, finished in 65th place with a total score of 2-over 286.
Lee earned his spot in this tournament by ranking among the top earners on the Japan Golf Tour after winning the KBC Augusta in August.
