John Daly II, the 22-year-old son of two-time major winner John Daly, sits three strokes behind the lead after the third round of the Puerto Rico Open. The University of Arkansas senior, playing as an amateur sponsor exemption, carded a 70 to reach 9 under par, tying for eighth place. Leader Ricky Castillo holds a one-shot advantage at 12 under following three straight 68s.
Jackson Koivun secured his third consecutive SEC Championship title on Friday, becoming the first player in more than 50 years to achieve the feat. The 20-year-old Auburn University junior now tops DataGolf's all-time ranking of amateur golfers since 2010. His victory highlights a remarkable collegiate career filled with records and accolades.
