  "account": "Yokohama Country Club hosted the US PGA Tour's Baycurrent Classic in Japan on Sunday, with Michael Brennan emerging victorious. The 24-year-old golfer secured his second title of the year and third win on the PGA Tour, edging out two-time major champion Xander Schauffele by one stroke. Brennan posted a final-round three-under-par 68 to finish on 16-under, while Schauffele finished three shots behind with a final-day four-under-par 67. Schauffele's challenge was ended by a double bogey on the final hole. Jacob Bridgeman, who had pushed Brennan to within one stroke going into the last hole, missed a birdie putt on the 17th and finished two strokes behind the winner. Hideki Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters champion, finished on nine-under, while Jordan Spieth, looking for his first win since April 2022, ended the tournament on 11-under. Two-time major winner Collin Morikawa, a 2024 champion in Japan, finished on 6-under.",
