Xander Schauffele started the day tied at the top of the leaderboard and fired eight birdies and one bogey for a final-round 64 to reach 19-under and win the Baycurrent Classic.

“It was a very strange week with the weather I think just for everybody. It’s been a while since we’ve sort of battled the elements of no wind to a lot of wind to rain all day, back to no wind. Just proud of Austin [Kaiser] and I hung in there all day knowing that it was going to take a low one,” said Schauffele.

This is the American’s 10th PGA Tour victory in his 200th start at the age of 31. He becomes the 119th player in Tour history to reach ten wins and moves to T109 on the all-time PGA Tour wins list. Schauffele won twice last year, at the Open Championship and the PGA Championship, but had not won so far in 2025.

“I think every player in any sport at some point in time you feel like you’re on top of the world and then you feel like, not that you’ve lost it but you feel less confident.

“I have a really good team around me, they pick me up when I’m down. You know, this is really special for me. Sooner than I thought, to be fair. I was running out of events in 2025 to sort of put my mark on it. I’m sure when I look back on 2025 at the end of my career I’ll smile and think it was a great year.”

“I thought at the Ryder Cup I played pretty solid,” he added, “I let Pat [Cantlay] hang in our second alternate match or foursomes match, I played really poor there and let him down, but the other rounds I felt like I was starting to kind of play some good golf. It’s very high stakes, high pressure golf and I started to hit some shots that I wasn’t really hitting throughout the year.

“I think the whole tournament, even though we lost, for me personally I was able to hit a few shots in high stakes moments that sort of gave me a little bit of confidence for sure.”

It was his fourth top-10 finish in sixteen starts this season (T8/Masters, T8/Genesis Scottish Open, T7/Open Championship, Won/Baycurrent Classic).

Schauffele improves 4-for-10 in converting a 54-hole lead/co-lead to victory on Tour. He also held the third-round lead/co-lead at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics where he won the gold medal.

He holds the most consecutive cuts made on Tour with 72 (since the 2022 Masters).

54-hole co-leader Max Greyserman of the United States made one bogey to sign for a 65, reach 18-under and record his fifth career runner-up finish on Tour, including second at the Baycurrent Classic last year.

American Michael Thorbjornsen eagled the par-5 4th and made one bogey to card a final round 7-under 64 for his second-best finish of the season (T2/Corales Puntacana Championship).

Making his 50th PGA Tour start, Japan’s Takumi Kanaya recorded a bogey-free 62 for a share of fourth place at 14-under, the best finish among the seventeen Japanese players in the field. The 2021 Baycurrent Classic winner Hideki Matsuyama finished at T20.

Also tied in fourth place were the Philippines Rico Hoey with a 63, American Alex Smalley with a 64, Korean Byeong Hun An and South African Garrick Higgo with 66s, all four of them stayed bogey-free.

FedExCup Fall Notes
