RunGood ambassador Carl Masters is the current chip leader with 565,000, followed by Libby Wilson (442,000) and Donnie Phan (390,000). Fellow ambassador and Player of the Year Craig Welko is also inside the top five with 384,000, while Delilah Lerner is further down the leaderboard with 132,000. Others already through to Day 2 include Dylan Stanfield (307,000), Thomas Coomes (248,000), Devon Sturges (230,000), and Kurt Jewell (81,000).
