PGA TOUR 2022: Charles Schwab Challenge, Colonial, Fort Worth, Texas: 26-29 May
Sam Burns wins Charles Schwab Challenge
From PGA TOUR Daily Wrap-up, by The AP:
FORT WORTH, Texas — Sam Burns made a 38-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole at Colonial, which came just more than two hours after he had finished his round, to beat top-ranked Scottie Scheffler on Sunday.
After finishing his 5-under 65 to get to 9 under, Burns was done in the clubhouse when, at one point, Scheffler was among five players tied at 10 under.
The gusty wind and a strange sequence changed all that. And Scheffler needed three clutch putts for a 72 just to get into the playoff matching 25-year-old standouts and close friends. Read more
From Planet Sport, by Dave Tindall:
Sam Burns was the last man standing after coming through a dramatic final day at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Texas and beating World No.1 Scottie Scheffler in a playoff.
Just as PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas had done last week at Southern Hills, Burns came from seven back on the final day before lifting the trophy.
Burns had started Sunday in 17th place and despite his 5-under 65 taking him to 9-under at the finish, it didn't look enough.
But with the winds whipping up at Colonial Country Club and the greens getting fast, the leaders starting falling away one by one. Read more
From Sky Sports:
Sam Burns sank a 38-foot birdie putt on the first play-off hole to stun world No 1 Scottie Scheffler and win the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.
The pair replayed the par-4 18th at Colonial Country Club and, having putted from the first cut of rough, Burns read the long double-breaker to perfection.
Scheffler could not match it with a long birdie putt of his own, giving the 25-year-old an improbable victory - his third of the PGA Tour season to lift him to second place in the FedEx Cup standings. Read more
