Brennan Wins Baycurrent Classic by One Stroke

Michael Brennan won the Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Country Club by one stroke, finishing at 16-under 268 after a final-round 3-under 68. The 24-year-old former Wake Forest player rebounded from a bogey on the 10th with birdies on the 11th and 12th, then parred the final six holes. His best save was a long greenside-bunker shot to a foot for par on the par-3 16th. The win was his third PGA Tour title in 33 career starts and his second of the season after the Wyndham Championship in August; he also won the Bank of Utah Championship last year. Jacob Bridgeman shot 69 to finish one back after his 5-foot birdie putt on 17 slid by and his 55-foot birdie putt on 18 finished four feet wide. Keith Mitchell also tied for second with a 68, having gone five under over a five-hole stretch with three birdies and an eagle before playing the final 10 in two over. Defending champion Xander Schauffele reached 18 a stroke back, drove into trees, and double-bogeyed to tie for fourth at 13 under with Brian Harman, Stephan Jaeger, Ryan Gerard and Jordan Smith. Jordan Spieth tied for 13th at 11 under in his first FedEx Cup Fall start; Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 winner, tied for 21st at nine under. Rated coverage in the record was limited to two left outlets.
