With each day that passed at Colonial Country Club, the Charles Schwab Challenge came closer to resembling what we remember to be a typical PGA Tour event. Naturally, it was going to take some time for players and caddies to become acclimated to “the new normal” as the tour implemented numerous healthy and safety procedures in order to restart its season after a three-month break due to the coronavirus. But as the practice days passed into the opening rounds of the tournament, the routine of daily temperature checks and walking the fairways without fans has become, well, more routine.
And then came today, when the realisation of what was on the line came into greater focus. Long story short: they were actually playing for a lot of money at Colonial. The overall prizemoney payout was $US7.5 million with Daniel Berger winning $US1.35 million thanks to his playoff victory over Collin Morikawa. It’s been a while since any of these players had played for that kind of money, and no doubt it was entertaining to see how they handled final-day pressure once more.
