Michael Brennan Explains Why He Loves Colonial Country Club [TFw0vZ3gLrZ]
Michael Brennan reacts after a gritty third round at the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge, where he remains four shots off the lead heading into Sunday at Colonial Country Club. Brennan got off to a fast start with an eagle on the 1st hole and a birdie on the 2nd, but says he had to hang tough as the course became firmer, the greens started to bounce more and several hole locations became difficult to attack. He explains why Colonial has become one of his favorite tournaments of the year, saying the course is a proper test despite not being overly long. For Brennan, Colonial proves that a golf course does not need to be 8,000 yards to challenge the best players. Brennan also reflects on winning the Colonial Collegiate in 2022 during his time at Wake Forest, calling it some of the best golf he played in college. He discusses the transition from college golf to professional golf, the challenge of managing everything on his own, and why competing against elite amateurs helped prepare him for the PGA Tour.
