Back-to-back top-20s Yu fired a four-under 68 on Sunday at The Genesis Invitational to finish three-under and tied for 17th.

Impact Yu hit 15 of 18 greens in regulation while gaining 2.2 strokes with his irons during Sunday's final round at Torrey Pines, where he ultimately finished T9 in total birdies throughout the week with 16 tweeters. He's now placed top-20 in back-to-back starts at the WMPO and The Genesis ahead of this week's Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, landing in the No. 64 spot of the early FedExCup standings.

Joins Aon Next 10 with T11 at RSM Classic Yu closed with a four-under 66 on Sunday at The RSM Classic to finish 12-under and tied for 11th.

Impact Yu carded just five total bogeys throughout his 72 holes at Sea Island, where he ultimately ranked T2 among the field in GIR percentage and third in SG: Off-the-Tee. The T11 result is Yu's eighth top-25 of the season, and it allowed him to qualify for the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and The Genesis Invitational via the Aon Next 10. He finished 58th in the final FedExCup Fall standings, thanks in large part to his maiden PGA Tour victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship in early October.

MC at Bermuda Championship Yu missed the cut by three shots at this past week's Butterfield Bermuda Championship, posting rounds of 76-67.

Impact Yu rebounded from a five-over 76 in Round 1 by firing a four-under 67 on Friday at Port Royal, but he still fell several strokes shy of the cut line. However, he fell just one spot to No. 61 in the FedExCup Fall standings ahead of the upcoming RSM Classic where he's placed MC-T54-MC the past three years.

Struggles in final round Yu carded a one-over 71 in the final round of the ZOZO Championship to finish tied for 16th place.

Impact Yu began Sunday's action inside the top-5, but he got off to a poor start with an opening double bogey and was only able to manage three birdies on the day to fall out of the top-10. He was solid from tee to green, ranking eighth in the category for the week and was also T7 in driving accuracy. Yu currently sits 59th in the FedExCup Standings, and he would guarantee himself a spot in the first two signature events of 2025 with a top-60 season finish.

Captures first PGA Tour win Yu fired a final round five-under 67 to claim the victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship on the first playoff hole.

Impact Yu began Sunday's round two back of the lead and had a fairly uneventful start as he was even-par through the first seven holes, but he then birdied three of the next four holes to get within one of the lead. He came up clutch by draining a 15-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole and then defeated Beau Hossler on the first playoff hole with another birdie on the 18th hole. Yu hit 78 percent of greens for the week and complemented it by ranking second in SG: Putting. It's the first professional victory for the 26-year-old in his second season on the PGA Tour.

Strong T7 showing at Pebble Yu shot a five-under 67 in the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish in a share of seventh place.
