Charlie Woods is a chip off the old block at Junior PGA
Charlie Woods has vaulted into contention at the Junior PGA Championships with a six-under par 66 in the second round in West Lafayette, Indiana. After carding a 70 during the first round on the Kampen-Cosler Course at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, the son of Tiger Woods birdied six of his first eight holes en route to making the turn in a five-under 31 on Wednesday. He birdied three of his first six holes on the back to reach nine under for the event before consecutive bogeys dropped Woods back to seven under. He is seven shots behind leader Lunden Esterline, a 2027 Auburn commit, with Max VanderMolen and Chase Yenser tied at nine under with 36 holes to play. Woods, 16, failed to qualify for the match play rounds at last week's US Junior Amateur Championship in Dallas. He is now seeking one of the two automatic spots on the Junior Ryder Cup team that will go to the top two finishers this week. There is also one captain's pick, although Woods is not thought to be in line to be selected for it. A rising junior at the Benjamin School in Palm Beach, Florida., Woods won the AJGA's Team TaylorMade Invitational in May.

Scott faces crunch time for FedEx Cup play-off hopes
Australia's former Masters champion Adam Scott has admitted it is "do or die" for his FedEx Cup playoff chances and hopes his last shot at qualifying will bring out his best golf. The 45-year-old currently sits 85th in the standings and needs to get into the top 70 to make the post-season run-in. To do that he has to finish no worse than in a two-way tie for third at the Wyndham Championship at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina. "I'm really here focused on trying to win this tournament," said Scott, whose 16-year streak of making the playoffs ended in 2023. He returned last year to tie for fourth at the season-ending Tour Championship. "I actually think sometimes when it's like a last-chance thing, this will be my last chance to play on the PGA Tour potentially for some weeks, it's do or die and that's a fun way to play. "Sometimes we - or I - have fallen in the trap of like, 'there's always next week if it doesn't work out', and that's not the case here, so I think that's not a pressure but more motivation. "I feel like my game's been pretty good since May so I need to be on the front foot a little bit, I can't be sitting back waiting for it to happen." The Adelaide-born Scott has not won since 2020 and four years ago lost in a six-man play-off at the Wyndham. "I've really not had any momentum at all and it seems like I can put three rounds together but not four every week," he added. "I have full belief, especially after I've won, that I can play at the highest level on a given week. I think realistically it's harder for me to do it over a season. "I'm not saying it's impossible, but I need to get things more on my own terms to do that."

Kitayama holds on for second PGA Tour victory
Kurt Kitayama has finished a sizzling weekend with a final-round 65 to win the 3M Open, beating fellow American Sam Stevens by one stroke for his second PGA Tour victory. Kitayama, who shot a career-best and tournament-record-tying 60 on Saturday to enter the final round within one of the leaders, birdied six of the first eight holes to build a cushion on Sunday afternoon at the TPC Twin Cities. The 32-year-old took bogey on the par-3 17th hole for the third straight day, which shrunk his lead to one while playing in the second-to-last group. Stevens was one group ahead and failed to birdie the reachable par-5 18th. After hitting his approach on the closing hole into a greenside bunker, Kitayama safely blasted to 18 feet and easily two-putted for par, finishing at 23-under 261. US trio David Lipsky, Pierceson Coody and Jake Knapp tied for third along with England's Matt Wallace,, three strokes back. Kitayama, who previously won the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in 2023, got a 500-point boost in the FedEx Cup standings to move inside the top 70 and secure a spot in the playoffs. He was projected to jump from 110th to 53rd. The Californian, who tied for sixth at the 3M Open last year, has missed seven cuts this season. He tied for fifth twice, at the John Deere Classic and the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. Kitayama had his approach game in prime form. He hit his second shot on the par-4 14th from a fairway bunker within two feet of the hole for the last of his 20 birdies on the weekend. Stevens made five birdies on the back nine, continuing his strong season that includes three top-three finishes. He was second at the Farmers Insurance Open. The 29-year-old Texan is still seeking his first win, but this finish pushes him from 44th to 29th in the FedEx Cup with one event left in the regular season. Akshay Bhatia (75) and Thorbjorn Olesen (73) were the co-leaders going into Sunday, but the final pairing had a disappointing finish. Australia's Adam Scott had a final-round 72 to end T53 at 10 under.
