• The win was a long time coming for the 2022 Rookie of the Year, who admitted, "I've been waiting for it for a while."

Amidst a storm-suspended second round at the Wyndham Championship on August 2nd, 2025, Cameron Young surged to the lead while Gary Woodland provided the shot of the year with an emotional albatross.

• Cameron Young is on a heater, reaching -14 through 15 holes before play was suspended. He's driven by his ultimate goal: making the Ryder Cup team in his home state of New York at Bethpage Black.
• Supporting his mindset, Young admitted he's looking "off in the distance" at that Ryder Cup goal, using it as motivation rather than getting bogged down in the "little things."
• The New York native is channeling the pressure of a home-state Ryder Cup into a dominant performance, putting him in prime position for a marathon Saturday.

• The emotional highlight came from Gary Woodland, who holed out for an albatross on the par-5 fifth with a 7-iron. The shot is a powerful milestone in his comeback from brain surgery last year.
• Woodland has been leaning on his coach Randy Smith's advice to "stay patient" and "have fun," a mindset that clearly paid off with the incredible shot.
• In a wild coincidence, this was Woodland's second career albatross—the first came in high school, and he used the exact same club, a 7-iron.

• Patrick Rodgers erased a "dreadful summer" with a stunning comeback, playing his final 15 holes in nine under for a 63. Mac Meissner also posted a 63 to co-lead in the clubhouse at -12.
• Meissner, who had missed five straight cuts, credited work with a sports psychologist for getting him "freed up." Defending champ Aaron Rai is lurking at -13 through 13 holes.
• Ben Griffin's "no driver" strategy continued to pay off in a big way, as he holed out for eagle from 97 yards on his way to easily making the cut.

On August 1st, 2025, Joel Dahmen fired a stunning 9-under 61 to take the solo lead at the Wyndham Championship as the battle for the FedExCup Playoffs heats up.

• Joel Dahmen, needing a top-two finish to make the playoffs, put immense pressure aside to fire a career-low-tying 61 and grab the solo lead.
• Despite the flawless round, Dahmen called it "basic" golf, hitting fairways and greens and making the putts he was supposed to.
• With his wife pregnant and a recent split from longtime caddy Geno Bonnalie, the personal and professional stakes couldn't be higher for the fan favorite.

• A diverse pack is in pursuit, including Alex Noren, who found form after a mid-tourney swing change last week, and Cameron Young, who birdied three of his last four holes to post 7-under.
• Nico Echavarria credited his mental coach's advice for his solid 63: "Speak to yourself the way you would speak to your best friend."
• The shot of the day belonged to Nicolai Højgaard, who likely saved his season by holing out for a dramatic eagle from 176 yards.

• Rahm called Niemann "undoubtedly a top ten player in the world right now," highlighting the growing disconnect between the OWGR and LIV talent.

• Kurt Kitayama authored one of the season's most stunning turnarounds, going from nearly missing the cut to a dramatic victory. His weekend charge vaulted him from 110th to 53rd in the FedExCup, securing his playoff spot.
• After "trying to find something" on Friday, Kitayama fired a course-record-tying 60 on Saturday, followed by a front-nine 29 on Sunday.
• The win was "extra special" with his brother Daniel on the bag, who admitted the chase for 59 on Saturday was more stressful than the final round pressure.

• Joaquin Niemann continued his season-long dominance with a wire-to-wire win, his fifth of the year, just after parting ways with his caddie and coach. But his individual triumph was contrasted by his team's stunning collapse.
• The real fireworks came from Bubba Watson, who went 8-under in a six-hole stretch on the back nine, describing himself as "unconscious" after a wild driver-off-the-deck.
• While Niemann's Torque GC faltered, Jon Rahm's Legion Thirteen snagged the team title, celebrating with a champagne-soaking rookie hazing for Caleb Surratt.

• Niemann was in such a zone that he said he was "laughing on the course of how many putts I was making."
• In the chase pack, Caleb Surratt had a wild day: he switched to new irons, accidentally hit a child with a tee shot (but recovered for birdie), and has a bet to solve a Rubik's Cube.
