Third in proximity at Baycurrent Classic Phillips closed with a two-under 69 on Sunday at the Baycurrent Classic to finish three-under and tied for 54th.

Impact Phillips racked up six final-round birdies at Yokohama Country Club, but a triple bogey on the par-4 14th hole ultimately kept him from a late climb up the leaderboard. Phillips' short game was an issue in Japan where he converted just 10 of 23 total scrambling opportunities, though he ranked third among the field in overall proximity. After descending one spot to No. 98 in the FedExCup Fall standings, Phillips figures to make his next start at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship where he earned runner-up honors last year.

Best finish of 2026 Phillips finished in a four-way tie for third at the 3M Open following his four-under 67 final round.

Impact It was Phillips' first top-5 finish of the season and his best outing since his runner-up performance at the 2025 Butterfield Bermuda Championship in November. He shot four-under or better in each of his four rounds at TPC Twin Cities and ranked T2 in birdies, sixth in SG: Putting, seventh in both scrambling and SG: Around and in the top-30 in both SG: Approach and driving accuracy. Phillips' performance at the 3M Open moved him up to 86th in the FedExCup Standings, so he has work to do over the final two tournaments of the regular season to crack the top-70 and qualify for the playoffs. His first chance is next week at the Rocket Classic, where he finished T13 in 2025.

Declines spot in Scottish Open field Phillips will remain in the field for this week's ISCO Championship, Rob Bolton of PGATour.com reports.

Impact Phillips was given a spot in the field for this week's Genesis Scottish Open after Michael Hollick withdrew Monday, but Phillips has instead elected to tee it up stateside at the ISCO Championship where he missed the cut last year.

Added to Scottish Open field Phillips has joined the field for this week's Genesis Scottish Open, Rob Bolton of PGATour.com reports.

Impact Phillips originally planned to play in the ISCO Championship after his T15 at this past week's John Deere Classic, but he's slated to join the Genesis Scottish Open field following Michael Hollick's early WD.

No. 1 in SG: ARG at JDC Phillips carded a two-under 69 on Sunday at the John Deere Classic to finish 14-under and tied for 15th.

Impact Phillips paced the field in SG: Around-the-Green throughout his week at TPC Deere Run, converting 16 of 21 scrambling opportunities en route to just six total bogeys across 72 holes. However, he ranked outside of the top-50 in each of SG: Off-the-Tee, SG: Approach and GIR percentage. Nonetheless, he improves eight spots to No. 106 in the FedExCup standings with his fourth top-25 result of the season, and he'll peg it again this week at the ISCO Championship.

Sixth in SG: Putting at RBC Canadian Open Phillips fired a four-under 66 on Sunday at the RBC Canadian Open to finish 10-under and tied for 15th.

Impact Phillips gained 3.8 strokes with the flat stick and he ranked second among the field in putts per GIR en route to eight birdies during Sunday's final round at TPC Toronto. However, Phillips finished the week just 61st in SG: Approach and he converted only nine of 19 scrambling opportunities. Nonetheless, a T15 result was a solid rebound from three consecutive missed cuts, and Phillips now looks ahead to his U.S. Open debut at Shinnecock Hills.

JUNE 15 • ROTOWIRE

Notches first top-10 of season Phillips closed with a one-under 71 on Sunday at the Valero Texas Open to finish 13-under and tied for eighth.

Impact Phillips' final round at TPC San Antonio was highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 17th hole, where he stuck a 302-yard drive to four feet before sinking the short putt for his deuce. He ultimately finished the event ranked No. 1 among the field in both SG: Putting and putts per GIR, though he hit just 38 of 72 total greens in regulation. The T8 result is Phillips' first top-10 finish of the season, and it ascends him from 126th to 96th in the FedExCup standings.

APRIL 6 • ROTOWIRE

Top-20 finish to start season Phillips notched a tie for 19th place at the Sony Open in Hawaii following a three-under 67 in the final round.

Impact Phillips didn't have the greatest ball-striking week, but the putter certainly kept him in it. Phillips ranked top-10 for the week in both SG: Putting and putts per GIR. That's actually an area of the game he had been very hit-or-miss on over his last 10 starts. Phillips will need the putter to remain strong if he is to challenge at The American Express next week.

Runner-up in Bermuda Phillips posted a final round even-par 71 at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, finishing one shot behind champion Adam Schenk.

Impact Trailing by one stroke to start the day, Phillips had a solid front-nine with a birdie and eight pars to maintain a one-shot deficit. He struggled under the windy conditions on the back-nine, however, carding three bogeys and ultimately came up one short. Phillips was led by his short game as he ranked second in scrambling for the week. The result moves Phillips up from 139th to 92nd in the FedExCup Fall Standings and will essentially secure his Tour card for next year.

T10 result in team event Phillips and Jacob Bridgeman fired a five-under 67 on Sunday at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans to finish in a share of 10th place.
