AdvHealth Championship Leaders Showcase Top Form Ahead of Final Round

Overland Park, Kansas – The AdventHealth Championship on the Corn Ferry Tour has entered its climax with Rayyan Thomas of India and Mahant Chiravuri, an Indian‑American, locked in a joint fifth‑place battle after 54 holes. Both have posted a total of 198, which is 18 strokes under par, placing them five shots behind Japan’s Yuta Sugiyura, who matched the course record by shooting a flawless 64 (8 under).

Thomas opened with a 69, a one‑under round that included five birdies and two bogeys. The player, born in Dubai, has been one of the week’s most consistent performers and now sits within striking distance of the leader.

Chiravuri’s highlight came with an 8‑under 64, featuring nine birdies after tee 10, though a bogey on the final hole kept him from a lower total. The score equals his career best and propelled him into the top‑10 for the first time in his tenth Corn Ferry appearance, beating his previous highest finish of 19th at the Pinnacle Bank Championship.

Sugiyura leads at 22 under 194 after three rounds, having produced a bogey‑free round of 64. The 22‑year‑old Japanese golfer is chasing his inaugural title and aims to become the tour’s third Japanese champion.

Other notable names include Julian Suri (66, 6 under), John Marshall Butler (bogey‑free round, second place at 21 under), Jack Fisher (third at 19 under), and Peter Hruby, who shares the fifth spot with Thomas and Chiravuri at 18 under. The final round will be crucial for those eyeing qualification for the Simms Bank Open for the Snedeker Foundation, where the top 156 on the points list will earn entry.
