Michael Brennan closed out the Baycurrent Classic at Yokohama Country Club on Sunday, holding off Jacob Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell to collect his third PGA Tour win in the last 12 months, worth $1.44 million.
How close was the finish at Yokohama Country Club?
Mitchell, still chasing his first win since the 2019 Honda Classic, grabbed the lead on the front nine with three birdies and an eagle before stumbling at Nos. 9 and 12. He had a 10-foot birdie putt on 18 to force a playoff but missed. Bridgeman, fresh off a win at the Biltmore Championship last month, also had a look at the lead but missed a five-foot birdie try on 17. Both finished tied for second at $704,000 each.
Defending champion Xander Schauffele shot a final-round 67 to tie for fourth at $301,600, alongside Brian Harman, Jordan Smith, Ryan Gerard and Stephan Jaeger.
It was an unbelievable week, Brennan said of his third title in 12 months.
How did the rest of the field get paid?
| Finish | Player(s) | Payout per player |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Michael Brennan | $1,440,000 |
| T2 | Keith Mitchell, Jacob Bridgeman | $704,000 |
| T4 | Harman, Schauffele, Jaeger, Gerard, Smith | $301,600 |

Major champions well down the board collected smaller checks: Justin Thomas tied for 23rd at $68,667.67, while Collin Morikawa and Nick Taylor were among the group tied for 33rd and 41st, respectively.
Did everyone in the field get paid?
Not quite. Amateur Koshin Nagasaki finished 69th but, as an amateur, was not eligible to collect prize money, and the tournament's final standings reflect that.
With the win, Brennan turns his attention to the 2027 Ryder Cup, a team he is now squarely in position to make.
