Henley defeated Eric Cole on the first playoff hole to win the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Analysis:
Most of the field struggled in sunny conditions in the final round, but Henley came out firing with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second. It looked like his day was derailing after three-straight bogeys over the next three holes and another on the ninth, but Henley gathered himself and reset on the back nine. He started with a birdie on the 11th before adding three more over his final three holes, which brought him to a 12-under cumulative score to force a playoff with Cole. Henley's second playoff shot landed within five feet of the hole, which he sunk for birdie to beat out Cole after the latter's own birdie putt barely missed the cup. It was the sixth PGA Tour victory of Henley's career and first since the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. He led the field in both driving accuracy and GIR while ranking second in SG: Approach, T7 in birdies and 10th in SG: Off-the-Tee. Henley will look to carry that momentum into Murifield Village Golf Club next week at the Memorial Tournament, where he finished T5 last year.
