The fall event carries vital FedExCup points that determine 2026 Tour status.

Overview

  • Garrick Higgo shot a 6-under 66 to reach 13-under 131 and take the 36-hole lead at the Country Club of Jackson.
  • Eric Cole posted 67 to sit one stroke back, and Taylor Montgomery surged with a 63 that included nine birdies in a 10-hole stretch.
  • Danny Walker is two behind after a 68, with Vince Whaley and Tom Kim among those three back following rounds of 67 and 66.
