Joel Dahmen set a course record with a 10-under 62 at the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic, taking a two-shot lead over Keith Mitchell, Garrick Higgo, and Matt Wallace. His strong finish included three birdies in his last four holes on the Corales course at Puntacana Resort. Despite starting the day eight shots behind, Dahmen's impressive performance placed him in the lead.
Playing in relatively calm wind conditions, Dahmen's lead positions him well for the upcoming rounds. The winner of the tournament will secure a two-year exemption and a spot in the PGA Championship next month. This event coincides with a prominent tournament in South Carolina, featuring just over half of the 132-man field shooting in the 60s.
