Duke alumna Anne Chen turned in the round of the tournament on Friday, carding a bogey-free-until-the-last-hole 9-under 63 to vault to a two-shot, 36-hole lead at the inaugural Smoky Mountain Championship presented by Food City. Playing on dual LPGA/Epson Tour status this year, Chen made 10 birdies against a single bogey on the 18th hole and sits at 12-under 132 through two rounds at Green Meadow Country Club.

When Kaleiya Romero tees it up this week at The Standard Portland Classic, she won’t just be competing on the LPGA Tour, she’ll be doing it in a state that already feels like home.

The 24-year-old from San Jose, California, arrives at Columbia Edgewater Country Club sitting at No. 2 in the Epson Tour’s Race for the Card, trailing fellow rookie Lauren Olivares in the standings that determine who earns LPGA Tour membership for 2027. It’s the latest milestone in a rookie season that has turned into one of the breakout stories of the year on the LPGA’s official developmental tour, and one that traces directly back to a detour Romero never expected to take: a season on the coaching staff at the University of Oregon.

Champion in 2023, the 25-year-old came close to winning the event for a second time last year as he lost out to England’s Marco Penge by one shot despite a closing eagle in a dramatic finale at Furesø Golf Klub.

While the layout then was tree-lined, narrow and short by Tour-level standards, new host venue Great Northern, which becomes the 466th venue on the DP World Tour this week, is a complete contrast.

Opened for play in 2017, the modern Nicklaus Design course has hosted an event on the ECCO Tour for the past five years and is striking for its elevation changes and seven lakes that result in water being in play on as many as nine holes.

Unlike many others in the field, Højgaard has played it before and the five-time DP World Tour winner is excited to see it exposed to some of the world’s best for what is the penultimate event of the Closing Swing on the Race to Dubai.

The Portuguese recorded his best finish since May’s Italian Challenge Open at last week’s Scottish Challenge supported by The R&A at SCHLOSS Roxburghe, with a ten under par opening round of 61 helping him to an eighth place finish.

And having returned to form on the Scottish Borders, Gouveia is looking forward to kicking on and boost his promotion chances in Ireland.

“Last week was a very good week for me, I played some great golf,” the Portuguese said.

“I haven’t been playing my best but last week for the first two rounds everything clicked so I was really happy about that.”

Gouveia came close to his breakthrough HotelPlanner Tour victory at the Italian Challenge Open, finishing one-stroke back of Englishman Chris Wood at Golf Nazionale.

GOLF.GARA.Cho Minn Thant question and answer session: ASIA TOUR

Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner & CEO, Asian Tour, answers questions about the new partnership with the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR and explains why it is the correct path to take.

You recently announced a new partnership with the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR. What was the rationale behind this decision?

While we had not anticipated this earlier in the year, as a result of the uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf’s future, we had to promptly look at all options in the best interests of the Asian Tour and our members. We were alerted to this just prior to the Singapore Open and since then it has been a very busy period of discussions and meetings that required our full attention. We needed to work quickly to find a solution which protected the long-term wellbeing of the Asian Tour. After evaluating several options thoroughly, we are confident that the decision we made is in the best interests of our members, stakeholders and partners. As we all know, sponsorship is the main factor which our Tour (and most other Tours) is built upon, and this is driven by market forces. We look back at the last five years as a very successful and important period of growth at the Asian Tour. The establishment of The International Series with LIV Golf has illustrated that Asian golf is vibrant and that there is a strong appetite for high level golf in the Asian region. The relationship provided our members with outstanding playing opportunities which is the foundation of the Tour and forms the basis of our renewed partnership with the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR.
