Michael Brennan Wins Wyndham Championship, Securing FedEx Cup Playoff Spot

On the tournament’s concluding day, Michael Brennan posted a six-under 64 to finish at 22-under 258, three strokes ahead of Beau Hossler. The victory, Brennan’s second PGA Tour win, earned him $1.53 million from the $8.5 million purse and an automatic invitation to next year’s Masters. Hossler, who entered the final round tied with Brennan at 16-under, fell to second after a bogey on the ninth and a 67-stroke round.
