Ryan Gerard wins the Barracuda Championship for his first PGA Tour title
TRUCKEE, Calif. (AP) — Ryan Gerard had two seven-point, birdie-eagle bursts and overcame five bogeys to win the Barracuda Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory. In breezy conditions at Tahoe Mountain Club in the only PGA Tour event that uses the modified Stableford scoring system, Gerard followed a two-point birdie with a five-point eagle on Nos. 2-3 and 10-11. The 25-year-old former North Carolina player had a 13-point round to finish with 47 points for a three-point victory over 2021 winner Erik van Rooyen of South Africa. Gerard fell short of van Rooyen's tournament record of 50 points. 'Been playing a lot of really good golf,' Gerard said. 'Felt like I haven't been quite getting the scores out of the shots that I've hit. It's been a long time being a long grind, and it's pretty cool to end up on top.' Fifth in the event two years ago, Gerard won in his 47th PGA Tour start to become the 999th winner in tour history. 'It's just like a culmination of a lifetime of work,' Gerard said. 'I can't tell you how many hours I've spent hitting golf balls dreaming of winning on the PGA Tour. Yeah, it's really special.' Played opposite the British Open, the tournament was co-sanctioned by the European tour. With the victory, Gerard received a spot in the PGA Championship next year but not the Masters. Van Rooyen had an eight-point day. He made a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 15th and a 30-footer for birdie on the par-4 18th. 'Mixed emotions,' van Rooyen said. 'Really happy with how I fought. Left some shots out there the last few days unfortunately with the putter, but can't expect to make everything, right? So maybe I'm a bit too hard on myself.' Todd Clements of England was third with 39 points after a 16-point round. Beau Hossler scored 17 points Sunday to tie for fourth at 37 with Max McGreevy (16) and Jacques Kruyswijk (10). Tied for the third-round lead with Rico Hoey, Gerard made a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5 third and holed a 35-footer from the fringe on the par-5 11th. On the 11th, he hit his approach into the rough, but was allowed to take relief and move his ball to the fringe because of a sprinkler head. Gerard followed both seven-point runs with consecutive bogeys — with a point deducted for bogey — and missed a 3-footer on 16 for a three-putt bogey. The winner made a 5-foot birdie putt on 14 to get back the points he lost with the bogeys on the previous two holes. He also quickly canceled out the consecutive front-nine bogeys with a birdie on No. 7. Gerard played for the sixth straight week — a string that began with the U.S. Open and took him to Scotland last week. He was ninth and second in consecutive events in Texas in April. Hoey tied for eighth at 34 after a scoreless round. ___ AP golf:

Barracuda Championship prize money payouts for all the PGA Tour golfers at Tahoe Mountain
The final opposite-field tournament on the PGA Tour's 2025 schedule crowned a champion Sunday night. The 2025 Barracuda Championship, the lone tournament to use the Modified Stableford scoring system, saw Ryan Gerard hoist the trophy at the Tahoe Mountain Club's Old Greenwood course in Truckee, California. He is the 11th first-time winner on the PGA Tour in 2025. This was his 47th start on the circuit. 2025 Barracuda Championship prize money payouts Gerard, 25, banked $720,000 from the tournament's $4 million total purse. The scoring numbers are not in relation to par. Rather, they are points, as players in the Modified Stableford scoring format accumulated 8 points for an albatross, 5 points for eagles, 2 points for birdies, 0 points for par, minus-1 for bogeys and minus-3 for double bogeys or worse.

U.S. Junior storylines: Charlie Woods among several PGA Tour sons; Lefty takeover at the top
Yes, you're getting old. Competing in this week's U.S. Junior Amateur at Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas are four sons of current or former PGA Tour players – Jackson Byrd, Trevor Gutschewski, Cameron Kuchar and Charlie Woods. Byrd is the 18-year-old son of Jonathan Byrd, who won five times on the PGA Tour and was rookie of the year in 2022. He was runner-up to Russell at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley earlier this year. He starts this fall at Clemson, where his uncle, Jordan Byrd, is the head coach. Gutschewski, 18 and the oldest son of three-time Korn Ferry Tour winner Scott Gutschewski, returns to defend his title, marking the first U.S. Junior champion to get that opportunity since Nick Dunlap in 2022 (Dunlap made the semifinals that year). Gutschewski missed the cut at last month's U.S. Open at Oakmont, though he rebounded quickly to win the Western Junior. He'll begin his college career at Florida this fall. Kuchar, 17, makes his USGA debut after recently finishing runner-up to Gutschewski at the Western Junior and verbally committing to TCU. His dad, Matt Kuchar, is a nine-time PGA Tour winner, nine-time Ryder and Presidents Cupper, Olympic bronze medalist and USGA champion (1997 U.S. Amateur). And then there's Woods, the 16-year-old son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods. Woods qualified for his second straight U.S. Junior, a tournament his dad won three times among his nine USGA titles. Woods is a rising junior at the Benjamin School in North Palm Beach, Florida, and the Class of 2027 recruit can officially talk to college coaches as of last month. He's also shot up the AJGA rankings, cracking the top 20 after winning the Team TaylorMade Invitational in May, beating top-ranked junior Miles Russell by six shots in the process. Woods shot 22 over in last year's U.S. Junior debut at Oakland Hills, tying for 240th in the 264-player field. This year's field is also 264 players deep with 38 states and 33 countries represented. The top 64 players after 36 holes of stroke play will advance to Wednesday's first round of match play. The 36-hole final is slated for Saturday. Here are the other big storylines entering the 77th edition of the U.S. Junior: Lefty takeover Not only are the top three players in this field – Miles Russell, Luke Colton and Tyler Watts – all ranked in the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking, but all three are lefthanded. Russell, 16, is the highest ranked of the trio, at No. 18. The Class of 2027 star recently gave his verbal commitment to Florida State and owns victories this year at the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley and AJGA Simplify Boys Championship, plus a runner-up at the Northeast Amateur. He also has won the Boys Junior PGA and AJGA Junior Players, so the U.S. Junior is the last major junior title still eluding him. Colton, an 18-year-old Vanderbilt commit from Frisco, Texas, is ranked No. 25 in the world. He's already playing his fifth USGA championship and has twice reached match play at the U.S. Junior. He's the two-time defending champion of the Terra Cotta Amateur. No. 45 Watts, 17, is arguably having the best summer of the three. He won the Sunnehanna Amateur in June with a record 18-under score and a few weeks later reached the final of the North and South Amateur. He also lost to Trevor Gutschewski is last year's U.S. Junior final at Oakland Hills. He's verbally committed to Tennessee. Can he Mawhinney? It's hard to believe this is Tyler Mawhinney's U.S. Junior debut. The 17-year-old from Fleming Island, Florida, already has a USGA title under his belt, teaming with future Vanderbilt teammate Will Hartman, who is also in this week's field, to win this year's U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship. Mawhinney also won last year's Canadian Men's Amateur and then took advantage of his exemption into the PGA Tour's RBC Canadian Open last month, tying for 65th. Mawhinney also reached the Round of 16 at last summer's U.S. Amateur. Qatar, not a drawer At 14 years old, Daniil Sokolov is one of the youngest players in the field. Only 13-year-olds Luka Tiger Peterman Castillo and Salem Alabdallat are younger. Sokolov is also the first player from Qatar ever to play a USGA championship. Sokolov was born in South Korea to Russian parents and moved to Qatar when he was 5 years old. He was a bronze medalist at the 2024 Arab Junior Championship and has twice played in the DP World Tour's Qatar Masters, missing the cut both times. Home cooking There are 17 Texans teeing it up this week, second most of any state behind only California (24). Among them is 18-year-old Reese Roberts of Dallas. Roberts is a Missouri signee and attended the same high school as two-time U.S. Junior champion Jordan Spieth, Jesuit College Prep in Dallas. Roberts has won Spieth's AJGA event, doing so last year, the same year that he won the Texas State Amateur at Trinity Forest.
