Golf fans react as Keith Mitchell calls Sungjae Im the ‘biggest Georgia fan in South Korea’

Keith Mitchell and Sungjae Im are currently teaming up together at the 2023 Zurich Classic. The two have advanced to the weekend's play and are on the T2 rankings on the leaderboard.

The PGA Tour's Twitter handle shared a video in which Mitchell calls Sungjae Im the biggest fan of Georgia from South Korea. Mitchell says:

"Sungjae taught me team captain in Korean because he's my captain. Yeah, he's my captain. Clearly that showed today. What else did we learn? You teach me something else? Oh, we taught him about football. I taught him about Georgia football. Aren't you a Georgia fan now? "

When Mitchell asks Im if he is a Georgia fan, the latter replies:

"Yeah, Georgia Fan."

Mitchell then calls Sungjae a "big Georgia fan," to which Im replies, "Bulldogs!" Mitchell then questions Sungjae about quarterbacks and receivers and says:

"So he's now the biggest Georgia fan in South Korea. He's a Georgia resident now. That helps."
