Joel Dahmen's Clutch Putt Keeps PGA Tour Hopes Alive at RSM Classic

Dahmen narrowly made the cut with a critical par putt, giving him a chance to secure full PGA Tour status for 2025.

Joel Dahmen sank a nerve-wracking 5.5-foot par putt on the 18th hole to make the cut at the RSM Classic, keeping his chances alive to finish in the top 125 of the FedEx Cup Fall standings.
Currently projected to finish 126th, Dahmen needs to improve his position over the weekend to secure full PGA Tour status for 2025; otherwise, he will retain conditional status in the 126-150 category.
Dahmen has faced a challenging season with only one top-10 finish and 10 missed cuts in 28 events, adding to the pressure of this final tournament of the fall swing.
The emotional toll of the season has been significant for Dahmen, who credited his family, particularly his young son, with helping him manage the stress of competing for his career.
Patrick Fishburn leads the RSM Classic at 11-under after a bogey-free second round, while other notable players like Daniel Berger and Ludvig Aberg also made the cut to compete this weekend.
