Russell Henley birdies playoff hole to beat Eric Cole at Colonial after 3 birdies to end regulation
- On Sunday, Russell Henley won the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club, birdying the final three holes to force a playoff with Eric Cole, then clinching victory with a birdie on the first extra hole.
- Cole, seeking his first PGA Tour win, maintained the lead throughout regulation play despite a front-nine double bogey—his first in a span of 316 holes—while Henley trailed until his late surge.
- Henley finished at 12-under 268 to secure his sixth PGA Tour title, earning $1.78 million and a customized 1982 Jeep Scrambler vehicle as prizes.
- Defending champion Ben Griffin fell one stroke short, narrowly missing the chance to become the only player other than Ben Hogan to win consecutive tournaments at Colonial.
- Hogan, a five-time winner, achieved back-to-back victories at Colonial in 1946 and 1947, then won consecutive tournaments again in 1952 and 1953, establishing the benchmark Griffin attempted to match.
