Joel Dahmen is paired with Keith Mitchell and Kevin Roy for the second round of the Rocket Classic 2025. The trio will tee off on Friday, June 27, at 6:45 a.m. ET from the tenth tee.

Dahmen carded a 2-over 74 in the opening round of the Rocket Classic 2025 and was among the worst performers of the day. His round featured three bogeys, with his only birdie coming on the final hole of the day.

Following the first round, Dahmen is tied for 149th and is 12 strokes off the leaders Roy and Aldrich Potgieter. He will need a remarkable round on Friday to make it to the weekend.

Speaking of his performance, the 37-year-old golfer has had a disappointing season so far. He has made sixteen appearances and has missed a whopping ten cuts. However, he has converted four of his six made cuts into top-ten finishes, including a T2 at the Corales Puntacana Championship, where he came close to winning before a final-day slump.

Currently, Joel Dahmen is 88th in the FedEx Cup standings and will need to maintain or improve that position to retain his PGA Tour card for next year.
