Schauffele wins in Japan, the country where his mother grew up and where he has many connections
Schauffele won by one shot with a 7-under 64 final round at Yokohama Country Club and has deep family ties to Japan, enhancing the victory’s significance.
- Xander Schauffele captured the Baycurrent Classic in Japan on October 12, 2025, shooting 19-under 265 to finish one shot ahead of American Max Greyserman after a Sunday 7-under 64.
- Xander Schauffele has deep family roots in Japan: his mother grew up there, maternal grandparents live there, and his wife Maya is half Japanese from Okinawa.
- Soft course conditions and still winds produced low scoring, with Matt McCarty shooting an 11-under 60 and Takumi Kanaya a 9-under 62, five behind the leader.
- Schauffele's victory adds a personal chapter to an already notable career as a two-time major champion and Tokyo Olympics gold medalist, with family including his 81-year-old grandmother attending and Maya, his wife, and their newborn son supporting him.
- At Yokohama Country Club on Sunday, the leaderboard showed small but decisive gaps as Joel Girbach of Switzerland trailed by four shots and Michael Thorbjornsen, American golfer, finished with a 64, three strokes behind.
