Greensboro, N.C. - Jessy Huebner of Port St. Lucie, Florida, wasted no time turning last year’s near-miss into momentum, surging into the solo lead after round two with a commanding 10-under-par 130 tally.
With temperatures holding in the mid-70s until the close of play, competitors faced mostly cloudy skies with a brief spell of light rain as they made their way around the course. Despite the slightly damp conditions, players continued to find scoring opportunities, with 11 finishing the round under par
This marks the 18th playing of the Wyndham Invitational presented by Odyssey and the tournament’s 14th consecutive year at the Donald Ross-designed Sedgefield Country Club.
Huebner began the round in second place and quickly made his presence felt with a steady, bogey-free front nine. He carded three birdies on the outward half, including back-to-back gains on Nos. 7 and 8, to turn in 3-under-par 32.
He carried that momentum onto the back nine, staying composed while adding three more birdies. A late bogey on No. 17 was his only blemish. Huebner closed with a 2-under-par 33 on the back nine to sign for a 5-under-par 65, moving to 10-under-par 130 for the tournament.
“I need to stick to the game plan, just keep doing the same thing, not think too much about the score, and just try to put up a good score tomorrow.”
The 2027 graduate is No. 5 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings. He has earned titles at the 2025 Golf Performance Academy Junior Championship and the 2023 Mizuno/Greyson Sigg Junior Championship, showcasing his consistency at a high level of competition. Following a runner-up finish at the 2025 Wyndham Invitational, the University of Florida commit looks to build on that success and carry strong form into this season.
Finishing in second, Matthew Hull of Corona del Mar, California, delivered a standout performance, firing a 5-under-par 65.
