Overview
- Jacob Bridgeman opened with a bogey-free 8-under 63 and followed with a 3-under 68 to sit tied with Keith Mitchell at 11-under through 36 holes.
- Keith Mitchell surged with a six-under 65 in round two to catch Bridgeman and now leads the pair into Saturday’s third round.
- Ben Kohles fired the low round of the day, a 9-under 62, to move into contention and Max Homa stands a few strokes back as he seeks his first Tour win since 2023.
- The Baycurrent Classic is a 72-player, no-cut event at Yokohama Country Club so every player advances to the weekend and late-week finishes matter for FedEx Cup positioning.
- Bridgeman’s strong form this fall — recent PGA Tour wins and the clinching putt for Team USA at the Presidents Cup — underpins his run at a possible third win of the season and will shape how rivals approach the final two rounds.
