Will the seasoned pros outshine the rising stars in the 2024 ProCore Championship final round?

The first event in the FedEx Cup Fall schedule is coming to a close this Sunday. With two rounds that saw players rise and fall in the leaderboard, Patrick Kizzire has risen up to the lead with a total of 18 under par. He sits ahead of David Lipsky by four strokes and will look to go into Sunday and secure the win. He will be the last to tee off at 1:45 pm.

President’s Cup International Team members Corey Connors and Mackenzie Hughes are T3 with rookie Patrick Fishburn. Playing in his first season in the PGA Tour, Fishburn made a run at the leaders on Saturday but bogeyed his last two holes. Patrick Fishburn and Corey Connors will tee off at 1:25 pm ahead of Mackenzie Hughes and Greyson Sigg at 1:35 pm.

What’s your perspective on:

Will the seasoned pros outshine the rising stars in the 2024 ProCore Championship final round?

Have an interesting take?

This will be the last tournament on the PGA Tour before the President’s Cup which will be played after a week’s break from September 26 to 29. Sahith Theegala, who will be playing in the President’s Cup, has had a whirlwind Procore Championship. Let’s take a look at his form as he prepares to defend his title.

After coming to the 2024 Procore Championship as the defending champion, Sahith Theegala was one of the picks to win it again. He faced strong competition from Mackenzie Hughes, Max Homa, and JJ Spaun. Homa missed the cut and Spaun sits at T21.

Theegala started off badly with a 69 on the 72-par course with three bogeys and 5 birdies. He then fought back in Round 2 and scored a 66. Another 69 in Round 3 meant that he had paid for his lapses before the final round. Now, he will have to rally again on Sunday to get close to Patton Kizzire, who is six strokes ahead.
