Michael Brennan wins the Baycurrent Classic in Japan for his 2nd PGA Tour victory of season

Michael Brennan clinched a victory at the Baycurrent Classic in Japan, held at Yokohama Country Club, on Sunday. The 24-year-old American secured his second win of 2026, extending his lead from a previous triumph earlier in the year at the Wyndham Championship. Brennan edged out two-time major champion Xander Schauffele by one stroke, finishing the tournament with a final-round score of 68, resulting in a total of 16-under.

Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell, both Americans, finished tied for second place, one stroke behind Brennan. Schauffele's final-day score of four-under left him trailing by three shots after a double bogey on the last hole. Bridgeman, seeking his second consecutive title, missed a birdie putt on the 17th hole, which ultimately sealed Brennan's win.

He credited his final-round performances for his success, noting he birdied four times and bogeyed only once. Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters champion, finished the tournament at nine-under, while Jordan Spieth, the three-time major winner, ended on 11-under. Spieth was seeking his first PGA Tour win since April 2022. Collin Morikawa, the 2024 champion in Japan, finished at six-under.
