Michael Brennan wins Wyndham Championship and qualifies for PGA Tour postseason
- Michael Brennan won the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C., with a final round score of 6-under 64.
- Brennan made five consecutive birdies starting on the fourth hole to take the lead.
- He entered the tournament ranked No. 105 in the FedEx Cup standings and improved to No. 47 with this victory.
- This marks Brennan's second PGA Tour title in two years.
- The FedEx Cup playoffs will begin on Thursday with the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Michael Brennan had another Sunday opportunity and delivered in a big way. He made five straight birdies to pull away from Beau Hossler and close with a 6-under 64 to win the Wyndham Championship and reach the PGA Tour’s lucrative postseason.
Brennan came into the final tournament of the regular season at No. 105 in the FedEx Cup, a disappointing year with only one top 10. Now his season gets extended by at least one week — maybe longer based on how he’s playing — after his second PGA Tour title in two years.
Brennan was one shot behind Hossler when he ran off five straight birdies starting on the fourth hole, all of them inside 8 feet. That turned a deficit into a three-shot lead at the turn when Hossler took a bogey on the ninth hole. Then it was a matter of hanging on for the 24-year-old Brennan, a Virginia native who played his college golf about 30 miles away at Wake Forest.
迈克尔·布伦南赢得温德姆锦标赛并获得PGA巡回赛季后赛资格
迈克尔·布伦南再次迎来了一个周日的机会，并以出色的表现回馈了大家。他连续打出五个小鸟，以低于标准杆6杆的成绩结束比赛，赢得了温德姆锦标赛，并获得了PGA巡回赛的丰厚季后赛资格。
布伦南在常规赛的最后一场比赛中以联邦快递杯第105名的身份出场，之前的赛季表现令人失望，仅有一次进入前十名。现在，凭借这次胜利，他的赛季至少延长了一周——也许更长，具体取决于他的表现，这是他两年内获得的第二个PGA巡回赛冠军。
当布伦南在第四洞开始连续打出五个小鸟时，他落后于霍斯勒一杆，所有的小鸟都在8英尺以内。这使得他在转场时将劣势转为领先三杆，而霍斯勒在第九洞打出了一个柏忌。接下来，对于这位24岁的弗吉尼亚本地人来说，保持领先成为了关键，他在距离韦克森林大学约30英里处打过大学高尔夫。
