SUB 60 HEADLINES

Xander Schauffele ended his 15-month victory drought in the most meaningful way possible, capturing the Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Country Club with a closing 64 to finish at 19-under par, defeating Max Greyserman by one stroke.

The win was deeply personal for the American star—his mother was born in Taiwan and raised in Japan, his 81-year-old grandmother walked every round, and his six-week-old son Victor waited at home. "I've been coming here since I was about 9 years old. This is really special for me," said Schauffele, who pocketed $1.44 million from the $8 million purse. The victory marked his 10th career PGA Tour title and first since the 2024 Open Championship.

The tournament featured a heartbreaking subplot as Matt McCarty shot an 11-under 60 in the final round—the tournament's 18-hole record—and nearly broke 58 before hitting his final tee shot out of bounds. One swing from history, McCarty settled for the record round and a T14 finish. For Greyserman, it marked a cruel second consecutive runner-up finish at this event after losing in a playoff last year, extending his wait for a first PGA Tour victory.

PLAYOFF THRILLER IN SHANGHAI

World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul authored a stunning comeback at the Buick LPGA Shanghai, rallying from four shots down with five holes to play before defeating Japan's Minami Katsu in a marathon five-hole playoff. The Thai star's final-round 63 forced the playoff at 24-under par, and she secured the $330,000 winner's check with a birdie on the fifth extra hole.

The victory made Thitikul the first two-time LPGA winner of 2025, ending an unprecedented streak of 26 different winners in 26 events. It also provided sweet redemption after her devastating four-putt on the 72nd hole the previous week cost her that tournament. Katsu, who shot a tournament-record 61 in round two, fell to her second runner-up finish of the season.

GERMAN PRECISION IN CAROLINA

Alex Cejka captured his first victory in over two years at the SAS Championship, closing with 71 in difficult conditions to finish at 9-under par and defeat Ernie Els by three strokes. The 54-year-old German's $315,000 payday came with added emotion—he played the final round alongside his idol Bernhard Langer. "Being with him in the final round in tough conditions, I held my stuff together. I'm really proud," Cejka said.

The win, his fourth on the PGA Tour Champions, moved him to 10th in the Charles Schwab Cup standings heading into the playoffs, which begin this week at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic.
