Casey Jarvis and Antoine Rozner share the Genesis Championship halfway lead at 10 under par after the second round at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club in South Korea. Jarvis shot a 4-under 67 on Friday, Oct. 23, 2026, while Rozner carded a 65 that tied for the low round of the day, leaving the pair three shots clear of the field heading into the weekend.
The tournament, being played Oct. 22-23, marks the final event of the regular season for the DP World Tour, adding weight to a leaderboard that includes several players jockeying for position in the Race to Dubai standings.
The Main Development
Jarvis and Rozner enter the weekend tied atop the Genesis Championship leaderboard at 10 under. Jarvis, 23, is chasing his third victory of the 2026 season after winning both the Kenya Open and the South African Open in February. Rozner’s 65 matched the best score of the round and pulled him level with Jarvis for the outright lead.
Jarvis described his second-round performance in detail, pointing to improved iron play and a reworked putting stroke. “Felt really good out there. Hit a lot of good-quality iron shots and made some good putts,” Jarvis said, according to Sky Sports.
“Been working really hard on the greens and to see it finally paying off a bit is really nice. So yeah, super happy. I definitely think the putting has improved a lot.
I went through a bit of a dip, so I worked hard with the putter and took some time in the middle of the season to start finding the stroke again. I started with a new putting coach and it seems to be working really well.”
What It Means For The Race To Dubai
Jarvis currently sits fourth in the Race to Dubai standings, and a strong finish this week would put him in position to climb past Rory McIlroy, who ranks in the top three but is not competing in South Korea this week. Patrick Reed, also in the top three, is sitting out as well, according to FOX Sports.
Eugenio Chacarra, who leads the Race to Dubai standings after winning in India last week, opened with a 72 before rallying with a second-round 66. That round left him six strokes off the lead at the Genesis Championship, still within range of a weekend move up the board.
Contenders Chasing The Leaders
Ryan Fox, the British Open champion, is tied for third place, three shots back of Jarvis and Rozner after a second-round 67. Fox is one of four players tied for third, though the fact sheet does not detail the other three names in that group.
Jarvis brings a resume built on consistency into the weekend. His South African Open win secured him spots in the 2026 Masters Tournament and The Open Championship, where he went on to finish tied sixth. He also posted a tied-second finish at the Joburg Open and a tied-second result at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship this season.
What’s Next
The Genesis Championship continues through the weekend at Woo Jeong Hills Country Club, with Jarvis and Rozner carrying a three-shot cushion into the final two rounds. As the last regular-season event on the DP World Tour calendar, the result could carry direct implications for where Jarvis and Chacarra stand in the Race to Dubai once the tournament concludes.
