Rahm is chasing his first victory of the 2025 season while also targeting the season-long individual points title. With a strong chance to secure both honors, Rahm is well positioned to close the gap on Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann, who is faltering this week with rounds of 74-70, leaving him tied for 35th. Should Rahm claim the tournament title and Niemann finish 19th or lower, Rahm will seize the lead in the season-long race with one event remaining in Indianapolis.
On the relegation front, Torque GC’s Mito Pereira shot a 1-over 72, dropping him to T18 on the leaderboard, which is well short of what he’d hoped for after starting the tournament hot with a 2-under 69 on Friday. Andy Ogletree of HyFlyers GC, who’s battling a wrist injury, struggled as well, shooting a 2-over 73 to slip to T25 on the leaderboard as he attempts to secure his place for the 2026 season.
Anthony Kim struggled on Friday with an 11-over 82, the day’s lowest score, but staged a remarkable comeback on Saturday, carding a 3-under 68— a stunning 14-shot improvement.
The round of the day belonged Burmester as well as Torque GC’s Carlos Ortiz, who also shot a 6-under 65.
For the round, Bolingbrook GC produced a field scoring average of –0.22 compared to +0.41 in Rd. 1.
