BLANCHET IS TOUR BOUND
The co-leader is just playing for another win – he’s in. Must be a nice feeling, just playing for a bigger pay check. Another fine shot finds the green. Now -12 and sole leader again.
Shipley misses a shortish birdie putt and looks a little stressed, but his card is also secure.
Shipley famously won the Masters Silver Cup and US Open Silver Medal in 2024, and even got to play with Tiger in the final round at Augusta.
The Ohio State man has had an excellent season on the KFT with two wins plus a third-place finish to earn his PGA Tour card. The popular Pennsylvanian was featured in Netflix’s Full Swing docuseries and will be a fan-favorite in 2026.

WELLER TO -10
Joe Weller is out in 32. Another birdie on the 9th – he’s -4 for the day. Up to -10.

JOINT LEADERS
Barend Botha has just joined Chandler Blanchet at the top – both players now on -11 , two clear of the chasing pack. Less than 10 minutes until we get live action.

SCHEFFLER, THOMAS, YOUNG…
All big names to have played their way onto the PGA Tour via the Korn Ferry. We’re less than 20 minutes away from live action. Time for a quick drink. Then we’re going to have ourselves a very entertaining couple of hours watching these guys go through the ringer.

CURRENT LEADER
Here’s the man leading the way at the Korn Ferry Tour Championship, Chandler Blanchet. Blanchet has been playing on the Korn Ferry Tour since 2020 and has finally made his way up to the PGA Tour this year following his first victory and four other top-10s this season.

COMING UP
Looking forward to this. I’m sure there’s a good reason why we can’t see every shot, but I don’t like it. This is BIG. We should be able to watch it ALL. I’d rather watch these guys battling it out for a tour card than a lot of tour events.

BLANCHET LEADS
Everyone has now started their final rounds at French Lick, and it’s Chandler Blanchet who has hit the front thanks to a hot start at the Pete Dye Course. He’s three-under through five after making birdie at each of the first three holes and currently sits at 11-under for the tournament.
Close behind is South Africa’s Barend Botha and the USA’s Neal Shipley on 10-under, and they’re lining up after that with 12 players within five strokes.
