Adam Schenk survives raging wind in Bermuda to win first PGA Tour title
4 minute read Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Adam Schenk finally won when he least expected it, closing with an even-par 71 in raging wind Sunday to hold on for a one-shot victory in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in his 243rd start on the PGA Tour.
Schenk was two tournaments away from having to return to Q-school at No. 134 in the FedEx Cup. And then he handled some of the toughest conditions he ever faced, making one birdie and four crucial par saves in gusts that topped 30 m.p.h.
The last one was as difficult as any. His approach to the par-4 18th at Port Royal went just over the green as Schenk clung to a one-shot lead. He chose putter to roll through about 6 feet of fringe because of the tight lie, and the wind pushed it to about 5 feet short of the hole.
He gave that winning putt a light touch, relieved when it found the centre of the cup to hold off Chandler Phillip, who also shot 71.

3 minute read Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Adam Schenk played bogey-free in strong wind Saturday for a 4-under 67, giving him a share of the lead with Braden Thornberry in what has become a tense chase for a PGA Tour card at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Thornberry, a PGA Tour rookie who won the NCAA title at Mississippi eight years ago, shot a 69 to join Schenk at 12-under 201 with hardly any margin for error going into the final round.
Schenk and Thornberry are among 10 players from the top 11 on the leaderboard who arrived in Bermuda outside the top 100 in the FedEx Cup with time running out. The RSM Classic at Sea Island next week ends the season, the first one that offers cards to the top 100 instead of the top 125.
Schenk is at No. 134 and is running out of options. But he began making minor adjustments in his game the last few months and watched it pay off in a timely way at Port Royal.

3 minute read Friday, Nov. 14, 2025SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Canada's Adam Hadwin held onto the lead Friday in the windy Butterfield Bermuda Championship in a late bid to retain full PGA Tour playing privileges, shooting a 5-under 66 at Port Royal to take a one-shot advantage into the weekend.
Hadwin is 147th in the FedEx Cup standings, with the top 100 next week after the RSM Classic keeping their tour cards for next year. The 38-year-old from Abbotsford, B.C., a PGA Tour winner and two-time Presidents Cup player, missed the FedEx Cup playoffs for the first time in his tour career.
Hadwin had an 11-under 131 total after opening with a 65 on Thursday.
“A little bit more scrambly than yesterday, didn’t quite hit it as well,” Hadwin said. “A little off early. ... Just a little off. Didn’t quite have the same feel as I did yesterday, but scrambled really well. Short game, putting, made a bunch of putts today.”

2 minute read Thursday, Nov. 13, 2025SOUTHAMPTON, Bermuda (AP) — Adam Hadwin got off the start he needed in his bid to retain full PGA Tour playing privileges, shooting a 6-under 65 in windy conditions on Thursday in the first round of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, which was not completed because of darkness.
Hadwin entered the week at No. 147 in the FedEx Cup standings; the top 100 after next week's RSM Classic keep their tour cards next year. He led Takumi Kanaya by one shot. Braden Thornberry was also 5 under with two holes to play at Port Royal.
The 38-year-old Hadwin, a two-time Presidents Cup player from Abbotsford, B.C., had never missed the FedEx Cup playoffs in a decade on tour before this year.
“A bit of the shock to the ego, not gonna lie,” Hadwin said. "It might have hindered me a little bit through the season as I continued to struggle a little bit. I reached a point, though probably too late, probably July, August where I kind of accepted where I was at, just needed to battle through.

4 minute read Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Ben Griffin avoided the mistakes that slowed his two challengers Sunday and rolled in three long birdie putts for a 9-under 63 to win the World Wide Technology Championship for his third PGA Tour title of the season.
Griffin two-putted for birdie on the par-5 18th at El Cardonal at Diamante for a two-shot victory. He joined Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy as the only players with at least three wins, with one of those for Griffin a team event in New Orleans.
Griffin, playing for the second time since his Ryder Cup debut, ran off five straight birdies starting at No. 8. That included a 40-foot putt on the par-3 11th to tie the lead, a 25-foot putt on the 12th for his first lead and a 25-foot putt on the par-3 16th that all but sealed it.
He made birdie on all four of the par 3s.

4 minute read Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025LOS CABOS, Mexico (AP) — Nick Dunlap turned a tough lie into an chip-in eagle on his final hole Thursday to tie the course record with an 11-under 61, only for Sami Valimaki to join him about 30 minutes later on a day of low scoring in the World Wide Technology Championship.
Both were desperate for some good results, particularly Valimaki. While the 27-year-old from Finland made a late push to secure his European tour card with a runner-up finish in Switzerland, he came to El Cardonal at Diamante at No. 103 in the FedEx Cup.
Only the top 100 keep full status for 2026, and only three tournaments are left.
“It's not the best pressure, but it's how it is,” Valimaki said. “At least I made my card back in Europe so at least I have something over there, so I feel like that gives you a little extra freedom. Of course, you want to play here. Just have to play good these last three.”
Miyu Yamashita wins LPGA Maybank Championship after three-way playoff
2 minute read Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Women's British Open winner Miyu Yamashita of Japan has won the LPGA's Maybank Championship in a three-way playoff Sunday for her second career title in only her first full year on the tour.
The 24-year-old golfer sealed victory with a birdie on the first playoff hole, while three-round leader Hye-Jin Choi of South Korea and Australia’s Hannah Green could only manage pars. The win adds the Maybank title to Yamashita’s maiden major triumph in August.
The Japanese player carded the day's equal lowest round of 65 to swiftly climb up a congested leaderboard to 18-under 270 at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country club course.
Choi, who began the final round with a four-stroke lead, struggled to convert key putts as her advantage slipped away.
