Michael Brennan won the Baycurrent Classic on Sunday for his second victory of the season and third on the PGA Tour. He parred the final six holes for a 3-under 68 and a one-stroke margin over Jacob Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell, finishing at 16-under 268 at Yokohama Country Club in Japan.
Brennan was tied for the third-round lead with Bridgeman and Zach Bauchou before a bogey on the 10th. He rebounded with birdies on Nos. 11 and 12, then saved par on the par-3 16th by hitting a long shot from a greenside bunker to a foot. "Unbelievable. It was an unbelievable week," Brennan said. "Japan was spectacular."
The 24-year-old former Wake Forest player took the Wyndham Championship in August and finished the season 46th in the Fed Ex Cup standings. He won the Bank of Utah Championship last year. Brennan has now won three titles in 33 starts.
Bridgeman missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th that slid right, and shot a 69. Mitchell led by two strokes at one point but played the final 10 holes in 2 over for a 68. Defending champion Xander Schauffele closed with a double bogey after driving into the trees on 18 and finished tied for fourth at 13 under.
