Since the beginning of July, Kurt Kitayama has played seven events on the PGA Tour. In those seven tournaments just mentioned, Kitayama amassed five top 20 finishes, including a win at 2025 3M Open in July.

Due to Kurt Kitayama’s quality win at the 2025 3M open, I decided to take a hard look at the relevant player statistics for the event to determine how Kitayama fared relative to the field.

Upon the completion of four rounds of competitive play at the 2025 3M Open, in relation to the field, Kurt Kitayama ranked 13th in driving distance (314.6), seventh in GIR (greens in regulation-83.3%), seventh in putts per GIR (1.617), first in total birdies made (32) and tenth in bogey avoidance (9).

Additionally, Kurt Kitayama finished 25th at the 2024 Bank of Utah Championship.
