ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — PGA Tour rookie Patrick Fishburn played bogey-free for an 8-under 64 for his first lead after any round. Joel Dahmen was 10 shots behind and had a bigger cause for celebration Friday in the RSM Classic. Dahmen made a 5-foot par putt on his final hole for a 2-under 68 in tough conditions brought on by the wind and cold, allowing him to make the cut on the number and get two more days to secure his PGA Tour card for next year. He is No. 124 in the FedEx Cup. "I still got more to write this weekend for sure," said Dahmen, who recently had said his story is not yet over. "But without having the opportunity to play this weekend, my story would be a lot shorter this year." Fishburn took advantage of being on the easier Plantation course, with trees blocking the brunt of the wind and two additional par 5s. He also was helped by Maverick McNealy, who opened with a 62 on the tougher Seaside course, making two bogeys late in his round and having to settle for a 70. People are also reading... Fishburn, who already has locked up his card for next year, was at 11-under 131 and led McNealy and Lee Hodges (63) going into the weekend. Michael Thorbjornsen had a 69 and was the only player who had to face Seaside on Friday who was among the top five. What mattered on this day, however, was far down the leaderboard. The RSM Classic is the final tournament of the PGA Tour season, and only the top 125 in the FedEx Cup have full status in 2025. That's more critical than ever with the tour only taking the top 100 for full cards after next season. Players like Dahmen will need full status to get as many playing opportunities as they can. That explains why he felt so much pressure on a Friday. He didn't make a bogey after his opening hole and was battling temperatures in the low 50s that felt even colder with the wind ripping off the Atlantic waters of St. Simons Sound. He made a key birdie on the 14th, hitting a 4-iron for his second shot on the 424-yard hole. Dahmen also hit wedge to 2 feet on the 16th that put him on the cut line, and from the 18th fairway, he was safely on the green some 40 feet away. But he lagged woefully short, leaving himself a testy 5-footer with his job on the line. "It was a great putt. I was very nervous," Dahmen said. "But there's still work to do. It wasn't the game-winner, it was like the half-court shot to get us to halftime. But without that, and the way I played today, I wouldn't have anything this weekend." His playing partners weren't so fortunate. The tour put three in danger of losing their cards in the same group — Zac Blair (No. 123), Dahmen and Wesley Bryan (No. 125). The cut was at 1-under 141. Blair and Bryan came to the 18th hole needing birdie to be assured of making the cut and both narrowly missed. Now they have to wait to see if anyone passes them, which is typically the case. Thorbjornsen in a tie for fourth and Daniel Berger (66 at Plantation) in a tie for 17th both were projected to move into the top 125. Dahmen, indeed, still has work to do. Fishburn gets a weekend to see if he can end his rookie year with a win. "I've had a lot of experience playing in cold growing up in Utah, playing this time of year, kind of get used to playing when the body's not moving very well and you've got to move your hands," said Fishburn, who played college golf at BYU. "Just pretty happy with how I played." Ludvig Aberg, the defending champion and No. 5 player in the world competing for the first time in more than two months because of knee surgery, bounced back with a 64 on Plantation and was back in the mix. Aberg played with Luke Clanton, the Florida State sophomore who looks like he belongs each week. Clanton, the No. 1 player in the world amateur ranking who received a sponsor exemption, had a 65 at Plantation and was two shots off the lead. Clanton already has a runner-up and two other top 10s since June. "Playing with him, it's pretty awesome to watch," Clanton said. "We were kind of fanboying a little it. I know he's a really good dude but to be playing with him and to see what he's done over the last couple years, it's pretty inspirational."

FOR Roderick “Chuck” Gordon, Christmas isn’t about gifts wrapped in shiny paper—it’s about the laughter of children, the embrace of family, and the precious moments that linger long after the tinsel fades. Gordon’s 2024 soca parang offering, “Family Vibes”, explores the real reason for the season. The Laventille-born calypso crooner pours his soul into an instructive melody that speaks to the heart of what makes a Trini Christmas magical: togetherness. It’s a deeply personal piece, with Gordon’s four-year-old daughter, Imani, lending her sweet voice to the song’s opening lines. Imani, who turns five on Tuesday, was included serendipitously. “I was carrying her to her mother, and I hadn’t recorded the song yet. I was just singing it for her now and then,” Gordon recalled. “A little while after, she sends me a voice note with exactly what the introduction is: ‘Daddy, what song is keep yuh family close?’ The minute I heard that voice note, I said, ‘Click, save. I’m using that as the intro.’” “It came fortuitously,” he added, “but it’s in keeping with the vibes and energy of the song. She’s already demonstrating signs of a genuine interest in the performing arts, so it was nice to give her a debut.” For Gordon, the spirit of Christmas lies in being present: “Christmas is the perfect time to give the greatest gift of all: yourself. It’s about paying attention to your children, creating moments that matter, and letting them know they’re loved—not just through material things but through time, presence, and affection. Your involvement with your child is the most important gift you can give.” The challenges of fatherhood FAMILY TIME: Calypsonian Roderick “Chuck” Gordon with his daughter, Imani, and son, Ayomide, during a recent outing to a water park. Beyond the stage, Gordon’s previous work as a counsellor and social worker at the Children’s Court of Trinidad and Tobago has deepened his understanding of fatherhood. Now based at St Mary’s Children Home in Tacarigua, he acknowledges the pressures many modern fathers face. “Balancing family dynamics, societal expectations, and internal stresses makes it challenging, but time management and prioritising moments with your kids is key,” he stressed. “As a father, artiste, and social worker, I try to make time for my daughter (Imani) and my son (Ayomide). I try to be fully present when we’re together, really connecting and strengthening that bond. Whether it’s studio sessions or rehearsals, I involve them in what I do. That healthy connection is what allows you to maintain influence and provide the kind of discipline, training, and guidance they need.” Gordon also speaks candidly about the effects of absent fathers. “I came through adolescence with a father that was somewhat present but emotionally unavailable, and that left emotional scars. It was traumatic to some degree in terms of the development of self-esteem and motivation. The father figure is the motivating influence, the one that inspires you to action, to want to achieve. The mother creates the structure and discipline that enforces it.” He added: “Absent fathers can leave children, especially young men, stuck—not being able to navigate their emotions or the world effectively. It creates challenges in forming relationships, being trustful, and building a sense of security and identity. A positive male role model, whether it’s a biological father or not, is critical.” Advice for single mothers To single mothers raising children without a present father, Chuck offers heartfelt advice. “It’s an extremely difficult job. It’s really important to lean on any kind of support you have—whether it’s extended family or persons in the community,” he advised. “Grandfathers, uncles, or even mentors from extracurricular activities can provide that male energy, which inspires and motivates in a way that’s different from what the female presence offers.” Recalling his own upbringing, he shared: “I lived with my grandfather for a significant period, and what he represented to me—seeing him work the shop, work taxis, and be that male presence in my life—helped shape my whole view on maleness and fatherhood.” He encourages single mothers to be creative and seek out mentorship programmes and sporting groups within their respective communities. “You have to do the work,” he nodded. “A consistent male presence communicates safety and stability to a child. It’s not about doing it alone; it’s about creating opportunities for positive male influences.” Bringing musical healing Gordon revealed his artistry and social work are deeply intertwined. “Music is therapy for me. It allows me to deal with real-life dynamics like love, loss, and family,” he shared. “I can’t be preaching one thing in social work and then saying something different in my music.” He explained how songs like “Family Vibes” reflect his ethos. The two-time National Calypso Monarch has coined his unique mix of danceable music with strong messages (Jiggy Calypso) and has previously released “Charlsie” (2024), “Maths eh Mathsing” (2023), “Wha Yuh Doin” (2017) and “I Believe” (2015), among others. “It’s about choosing to spend time with your family, to create those moments that matter. I say in the song, ‘When you make your money and your money’s tall, it’s them you should have a ball with.’ That’s real,” he emoted. “It’s about making time for family despite life’s pressures.” The musical therapy flows both ways, he added, revealing that while he aims to bring soothing to others with his melodies and harmonies, he often finds the reverse is true. “I therapise myself through my music, but it’s also about sharing a message. The success it brings is irrelevant because it’s what I truly live by and believe in,” he concluded. “Christmas, in particular, is a rejuvenating time—the energy, the air, everything lends itself to connection.”
