Michael Brennan’s stunning win at the Bank of Utah Championship yesterday made him the most unlikely man to earn a PGA Tour card this year. It also led to a golf graphic-of-the-year candidate.
Michael Brennan won the Bank of Utah Championship in appallingly routine fashion, firing a final-round, five-under 66 to beat Rico Hoey by four shots, defying belief, if not decorum.
Playing in just his third PGA Tour event and on a sponsor invite to boot, Brennan displayed a maturity and quality of play consistent with someone who knew they were born to play the tour.
