PGA TOUR 2021 - Charles Schwab Challenge, Colonial, Fort Worth: 27-30 May
Jason Kokrak takes title (and truck) at Fort Worth
From the Daily Wrap-Up by AP:
Jason Kokrak played in 233 PGA TOUR events before getting his first victory. The big hitter didn't have to wait nearly as long to win again, and overcame a local favorite to do it at Colonial.
Kokrak shot an even-par 70 in a final-group showdown Sunday with resurgent Jordan Spieth, winning the Charles Schwab Challenge at 14-under 266. He was two strokes better than Spieth, who hit his approach at No. 18 over the green and into the water.
While even on the day, Kokrak had five bogeys to go with his five birdies. He twice needed two shots to get out of bunkers, and had back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 15 and 16. Read more
