It is a round that could not have come at a better time for Joel Dahmen. Entering the 2025 Wyndham Championship at No. 101 in the FedEx Cup standings, the one-time PGA Tour winner shot out the gates Thursday at Sedgefield Country Club to take the first-round lead in the PGA Tour's regular season finale.

"I don't know if you ever see 61 coming, but I saw good golf coming," Dahmen said.

If you take like four holes away last week, it was kind of going to be a top-5.
