Kevin Yu - Golf News, Rumors, & Updates

Closes strong to finish seventh Yu fired a three-under 69 on Sunday at the Valero Texas Open to finish in solo seventh place.

Impact Yu had a mostly uneventful final round as he was one-over through 12 holes, but he surged late with four birdies in the final five holes to climb into the top-10. His 24 birdies led the field for the tournament, and he ranked T3 in GIR and gained shots in every strokes gained category. It's a positive sign for Yu, who had only made 2-of-8 cuts this year entering the event, with his most recent top-10 coming last June.

Another MC in 2026 Yu failed to make the cut at The Genesis Invitational after posting a two-over cumulative score in the first two rounds of the tournament.

Impact With the cut line set at even par, Yu looked like he was going to make it to the weekend after going two-under on the back nine of the second round, but he proceeded to go two-over on the back, which included two bogeys over the final three holes. It's been a disappointing start to 2026 for Yu, who has missed the cut in three of four Tour outings (though everyone made the cut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am last week, when he finished T70). Yu will look to turn things around next week at the Cognizant Classic, where he finished T9 in his first and only appearance at the event in 2024.

T70 at Pebble Beach Pro-Am Yu carded a two-under cumulative score at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish tied with Corey Conners for 70th.

Impact Yu was back in action after withdrawing from the WM Phoenix Open the week prior, though he failed to score under 69 in each of his four rounds at Pebble Beach. He didn't stand out positively across most statistical categories and ranked outside the top-60 in SG: Around-the-Green, Approach-to-Green and Putting. Yu missed the cut in his two PGA Tour outings prior to Pebble Beach, but he'll look to turn things around next week at The Genesis Invitational. He finished T17 at the Genesis in 2025 when the event was held at Torrey Pines but missed the cut the year prior, when Riviera Golf Club played host.
