All Ricky Castillo needed was a T3 finish to retain his place on the PGA Tour. At least that is what Flushing It said in their tweet. What does he end up doing? The 24-year-old shoots an 8-under 62. No one can move him from the third position now. As compelling as that story is, fans didn’t witness most of it on a live broadcast.

Monday Q Info pointed out, “The round going from Ricky Castillo is absolutely ridiculous, to keep his job, and we didn’t even see his tee shot on 18. And his second shot was on delay. Shot link had his approach probably 2 mins ago.”
With Sami Valimaki fighting for the title, the broadcast was focused on everything he does. Fans didn’t get to witness what Castillo was doing on the 18th hole. A bogey would have ended his dreams. Instead, he nearly scored a 21-foot birdie before sinking in a 1-inch par to celebrate another year on the PGA Tour.

This is where I struggle with golf coverage and why I say that its unfair to say "no one cares about these players". Because they make absolutely no effort to tell this story.

“Set up the drama, tell his story. Tell what each shot means. Follow him up 18. Also he’s one off the damn lead,” pleaded the Monday Q Info team. He was still in the running to win the 2025 RSM Classic. If Valimaki drops strokes, then Castillo can get in contention to battle for the title.
Fans weren’t pleased that Ricky Castillo was ignored. As one of them commented, “There’s more to the RSM than who’s in contention for the title!”
