Last Weeks review:
You can excuse the excitement when Davis Thompson surged into a two‑shot lead mid‑round Saturday — only for a flat Sunday 71 to derail the charge. It was the highest score among the top 50 and a reminder of how unforgiving playoff pressure can be.
Meanwhile, Michael Brennan delivered a statement performance: 66‑65‑63‑64, three shots clear of Beau Hossler, his nearest challenger. While Brennan had a small TOUR win last year, the Wyndham represents a significant leap forward in stature and execution.
Technically, this marks the ninth first‑time/rookie victory of what has been a truly strange season — a campaign defined by fresh faces breaking through and reshaping the competitive order.
