- Some of golf’s biggest names were crammed on the final-round leaderboard at Colonial Country Club on Sunday but in the end it was unheralded Daniel Berger who walked away with the winner’s plaid jacket.
Berger was one of the hottest golfers on the PGA Tour before action was halted in March because of the COVID-19 outbreak, but was still flying under the radar as he faced up against a slew of the game’s best players at Colonial. “There was so many times today where I could have given it up or let the pressure get to me, but I hung in there and I played practically some of the best golf I’ve played the last six years the last five holes today.”
But Berger, who had top-10 finishes in his three starts prior to this week, carded a four-under-par 66 to reach 15 under for the week and won the playoff after fellow American Collin Morikawa’s par putt from in close lipped out.
