The final round at the Pete Die Course promises to be a dramatic showcase of talent and determination. Here’s a closer look at five players who are in the running for everything on the line. Baron Boa, the South African sensation Baron Boa, a 23-year-old from South Africa, is leading the pack into the final round. His back 930 on Saturday, resulting in a 10 under score, showcases his prowess. Despite entering the week in the mid-50s on the points list, Botha’s journey hasn’t been straightforward. He endured a mid-season slump, missing nine of 10 cuts, but found solace in the support of his older brother, NJ Botha, who carried his bag for emotional support. “I needed family close by during a tough patch in the middle of the year.” Botha shared, “It was challenging to be on the road, so I asked my brother to carry my bag. It’s been an instant boost with Botha missing just one cut in his last nine events and securing a runner-up finish at the Utah Championship. His Toledo College teammates even made the short drive from Purdue to cheer him on. Sandy Scott, Golf’s redemption arc. Sandy Scott, a 27-year-old rookie from Inesse, Scotland, is just one shot behind Botha. His story is a testament to Golf’s redemption arc. Scott, who wasn’t sure he’d play golf again 5 years ago due to a devastating wrist injury, is now on the cusp of earning his PGA Tour card. His comeback is all the more remarkable as he sat at number 63 on the points list at the start of the week. “When I was going through that injury, I didn’t think I’d play golf again,” Scott reflected. “To be in this opportunity is amazing. I play golf with a newfound lightness.” “Justin, redemption and reward.” “Justin Saw, a former topranked amateur, is seeking redemption this week. The USC alum has experienced the highs and lows of professional golf. Having played in five majors and made 90 PGA Tour starts. However, consistency has been a challenge. S’s breakthrough moment came at this tournament in 2022. But a rocky 2024 season saw him lose his card. He’s now fighting to climb back with a win at the Visa Argentina Open earlier this season, reigniting his confidence. Zetching Do rising from the brink. Zetching Marty Doe, a 27year-old from China, has been on a hot streak, entering the playoffs 58th on the points list. He secured solo second and T2 finishes in back-to back weeks, climbing to number 19. Do who represented China at the 2024 Paris Olympics, showcases precision and patience, making him a strong contender for a PGA tour card. Pontis Niholm slipping through the cracks. Pontis Niholm, a 27year-old from Sweden, is in a precarious position. Entering the week at number 18 in points, he’s now number 18. 21 after a challenging opening three rounds. Nihol needs to fire a three or four under on Sunday to secure his spot. His season resume, including 21 cuts in 25 starts and a playoff win, gives him reason for hope. As the final round unfolds, these players will battle for their dreams. With everything on the line, the tension is palpable and the drama is set to unfold.
