Sunday at Yokohama Country Club started with a full ranking and a world of possibilities. It ended with Michael Brennan beating Jacob Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell to win Baycurrent Classichis third PGA Tour title in 12 months.
“Unbelievable. It was an unbelievable week. Japan was spectacular, the fans were amazing this week,” Brennan said after his win.
Mitchell, who is still looking for his first win since the 2019 Honda Classic, took the lead on the front nine with three birdies and an eagle. But he dropped shots at No. 9 and 12, leaving him one shot behind Brennan down the stretch. Mitchell missed his tee shot on 18 and holed a 10-foot birdie putt to tie Brennan at 16 under, but he couldn’t make it fall.
“I feel like every part of my game is holding up, except for a couple of putts here and there,” Mitchell said after his T2 finish. “I probably hit the best two shots in my life, that’s something to say, but the tee shot on 18 and the 7-iron on 18 were as good as I had. Unfortunately, the putt was not as good as I had. So if I can give the same as the long shots, maybe we have a different conversation.”
Bridgeman, who won the Biltmore Championship last month, he also had a chance to catch Brennan, but he missed a 5-foot birdie putt on 17 and finished T2 with Mitchell.
“He was able to make some putts in the important times he needed to; that one on 17 is going to punish him a little bit,” Bridgeman said.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele shot a final-round 4-under 67 to finish T4 with Brian Harman, Jordan Smith, Ryan Gerard and Stephan Jaeger.
“I definitely played enough golf to win this tournament,” Schauffele said.
With the win, Brennan took home a $1.44 million winner’s check and set his sights on it. earn a spot on the 2027 Ryder Cup team. Here’s how much money each player made in the 2026 Baycurrent Classic.
