In search of his second PGA TOUR Champions win in as many starts (Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS) and second consecutive top-10 finish at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic (T8/2022), Brett Quigley takes a one-shot lead into the final round at 9-under 135
After a 1-over 73 (T29) in round one, South Korea’s Y.E. Yang positions himself for his first career PGA TOUR Champions title courtesy of a career-low 9-under 63 in round two to reach 8-under 136 (T2); with a win, he would become the first player to win a 54-hole event on PGA TOUR Champions after an over-par opening round since Esteban Toledo began the 2013 Montreal Championship with a 1-over 73

This week’s Dominion Energy Charity Classic is the first of the three Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs events and features the top 72 in the standings. The top 54 after this week advance to the TimberTech Championship (Nov. 3-5) in Boca Raton, Florida, while only the top 36 from the TimberTech Championship advance to the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship in Phoenix (Nov. 9-12).
Below is a look at significant positions through 36 holes:
