2025 Fortinet Cup Week 6: Lamb charges into second in Colombia

The PGA TOUR Americas’ 2025 Latin America Swing wrapped up Sunday after a challenging week at the superb course at El Rincon de Cajica. Heavy rain early in the week threatened to cancel the Inter Rapidisimo Golf Championship, but with improved weekend weather, the tournament came together as a 36-hole event—one in which Davis Lamb claimed an “unofficial” win that still awarded 500 Fortinet Cup points.

“Whatever we can do, we’ve got to fight and claw for every point we can get. Once we got the green light to play golf and knew we were going to have 36 holes—with points and money all in play—it was go time,” said the 27-year-old from Potomac, Maryland.

For Lamb, “go time” meant a bogey-free Saturday marathon, opening with an 11-under 61 and following it with a 68 in the afternoon. Argentina’s Abel Gallegos made a strong push on Sunday, finishing just one shot back after a bogey on the 36th hole.

Lamb’s 15-under total earned him the win and boosted his season-long point total to 684. He jumped to second in the Fortinet Cup standings, closing the Latin America Swing just 51 points behind leader John Marshall Butler. As the top two players through Segment I, Butler and Lamb secured conditional status for the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season.

“To be quite frank, I told myself that if I didn’t have some form of Korn Ferry status by the end of this year, I’d probably hang ’em up,” admitted Lamb, a two-time PGA TOUR Canada champion in 2023 who struggled as a Korn Ferry Tour rookie last season. “To lock that up in—whatever month this is—May, is a big step. I’m not satisfied by any stretch. It’s nice to have that in my back pocket, but I’m going to go out there and try to win the rest of this Tour so I can get to No. 1 and earn the full guaranteed card.”

Here’s a look at the top 10 players in the Fortinet Cup standings through six events in the 16-tournament season:

1. JM Butler, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 735 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: First
• Best finish: Won Bupa Championship

Despite a quiet week in Colombia following his win at the Bupa Championship, Butler’s earlier performances were enough to keep him atop the standings and lock up 2026 Korn Ferry Tour conditional status. He leads the Tour in total birdies (100), and ties for first in both total eagles (7) and par-5 performance (-47).

2. Davis Lamb, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 684 (5 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 24th
• Best finish: Won Inter Rapidisimo Golf Championship

Lamb’s bogey-free 36-hole Saturday at El Rincon earned him his second top-10 of the season and a massive 500-point boost. He placed inside the top 30 in all five of his Latin America Swing starts and ranks second on Tour in scoring average (68.39).

3. Hunter Wolcott, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 628 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 5th
• Best finish: Won Diners Club Peru Open

After opening with a 71 and going bogey-bogey to start round two, Wolcott caught fire, carding nine birdies over his final 16 holes for a closing 65. His second top-10 of the season vaulted him from fifth to third in the standings.

4. Ryan Grider, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 614 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 2nd
• Best finish:Won Abierto Telecom del Centro presented by Zurich

After a slow start in Colombia, Grider rallied with four birdies over his final eight holes Sunday to shoot 68 and finish T25. It was a much-needed rebound following back-to-back missed cuts in Peru and Mexico City, keeping him in the Fortinet Cup top five.

5. Maxwell Moldovan, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 586 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 3rd
• Best finish: Won ECP Brazil Open

Though he finished T64 in Colombia, the ECP Brazil Open champion edged out Jay Card III by just two points to secure the final top-five spot. That was key, as the top five through the Latin America Swing earned exemptions into the first four Korn Ferry Tour events in Latin America in 2026.

6. Jay Card III, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 584 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 4th
• Best finish: Won Kia Open

Card sat second in the standings midway through the Latin America Swing thanks to a T8 in Brazil and a win in Ecuador. But he's managed only 1.9 points in his last three starts. The break before Segment II should offer a welcome reset.

7. Michael Brennan, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 537 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 6th
• Best finishes: T3 in Cordoba, T3 in Mexico, T4 in Brazil

A win was the only thing missing from Brennan’s stellar start to the season. He leads the Tour in scoring average (68.33), birdie-to-bogey ratio (2.94), rounds in the 60s (16), and sub-par rounds (19). He’s also tied for the lead in total eagles (7), par-5 performance (-47), and top-10 finishes (4).

8. David Perkins, United States

• Fortinet Cup Points: 522 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 8th
• Best finish this season: Runner-up in Peru

Trailing Brennan by just 15 points, Perkins continued his consistent play with back-to-back 68s for a T8 in Colombia—his fifth top-20 in six starts. His scoring average (68.61) ranks fourth on Tour. He’s tied for fourth in total birdies (90) and fifth in birdie-to-bogey ratio (2.54). His only rough outing came in Mexico City, where he withdrew due to food poisoning.

9. Vicente Marzilio, Argentina

• Fortinet Cup Points: 452 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 8th
• Best finishes: Runner-up in Mexico, T4 in Ecuador

After a runner-up finish in Mexico City, Marzilio finished T54 in Colombia but remains the highest-ranked Latin American on Tour. He also leads all players who entered the season without status—impressive for someone who played his final amateur round just four months ago.

10. Ricardo Celia, Colombia

• Fortinet Cup Points: 417 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: 10th
• Best finishes this season: T2 in Ecuador

Celia was looking for a strong performance in front of his home crowd. He opened with a 67 but followed it with a rollercoaster 73 that included two eagles, a double bogey, and three bogeys. His T36 finish earned 15 points—just enough to stay in the top 10.

Biggest moves outside Top 10:

16. Abel Gallegos (Argentina)

• Fortinet Cup Points: 300 (6 starts)
• Last week’s rank: NR (had no points)
• Best finish: Runner-up in Colombia

After missing the cut in his first five starts, Gallegos’ goal was simply to earn enough points to crack the top 60 and avoid Q-School. He did far more than that, firing back-to-back 65s at the rain-shortened Inter Rapidisimo Golf Championship. His impressive Sunday charge ended with a heartbreaking bogey on the final hole, keeping him from forcing Davis Lamb into a playoff. “I’m obviously sad for the bogey at the end, but happy for the way I played after not having any good results lately. I played some unbelievable golf, struck the ball nicely, and made a lot of putts. This second-place finish is huge,” said the 23-year-old, who won the 2020 Latin America Amateur Championship.

41. Scott Stevens (United States)

• Fortinet Cup Points: 134 (4 starts)
• Last week’s rank: NR (had no points)
• Best finish: T3 in Colombia

After coming up empty in his first three starts, Stevens broke through in Colombia, shooting 68-66 during Saturday’s 36-hole marathon. The 10-under total helped him finish in a four-way tie for third to go from nothing to 41st on the Fortinet Cup points list. His 10-under total earned him a share of third place in a four-way tie and vaulted him from zero to 41st on the Fortinet Cup Points List. “I’m just proud of myself for staying positive, trusting my game—because it’s been such a tough year… I kept working hard, and to finally see it pay off when I needed it the most is huge,” said the 28-year-old, a pro since 2019.
