On October 11th, 2025, calm conditions in Yokohama led to a birdie barrage, where Max Greyserman fired a flawless 63 to build a historic 4-shot lead in his quest for redemption.

• A year after a heartbreaking loss on the final hole, Max Greyserman is on a mission. He fired a flawless, bogey-free 8-under 63 to build the largest 36-hole lead in tournament history at 12-under.
• "Job's not finished... foot on the gas."
• Greyserman says he's feeling the "good mojo" from the supportive Japanese fans who remember him from last year.

• Leading the chase is Xander Schauffele, who matched Greyserman's 63 to rocket into a tie for second. A win would be deeply personal for the Olympic gold medalist, given his Japanese heritage.
• A win here would be "special."
• Tied with Schauffele is Alex Noren, who felt his windy, first-round 69 was actually "more impressive" than his second-round 65.

• The calm conditions unleashed a scoring frenzy, highlighted by Kazuki Higa's front-nine 28, matching the PGA Tour's season-low 9-hole score, and Keith Mitchell's incredible 13-shot improvement with a 62.
• Max Homa provided a viral moment, holing out from a bunker on 13 and captioning the highlight "Kobe."
• Not to be outdone, Rico Hoey electrified the crowd by holing his approach shot for an eagle on the 17th hole.
