Michael Brennan captured the Baycurrent Classic on Sunday in Yokohama, Japan, earning his second PGA Tour victory of the 2026 season and his third career win, the Associated Press reported.

What happened

Brennan carded a final‑round 68, a 3‑under 68, after pars on the last six holes. He finished at 16‑under 268, one stroke ahead of Jacob Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell, who both posted 15‑under scores.

What the reports add

The AP noted that Brennan rebounded from a bogey on the 10th hole with birdies on the 11th and 12th, then steadied his play with pars through the closing stretch at the hilly Yokohama Country Club. His decisive par on the 16th came after a long bunker shot that landed within a foot of the pin. Defending champion Xander Schauffele faltered on the 18th, driving into trees and finishing with a double bogey for a 67, tying for fourth place.

Brennan, a 24‑year‑old former Wake Forest athlete, had already won the Wyndham Championship in August and finished 46th in the FedExCup standings. His earlier win at the Bank of Utah Championship last year rounded out a three‑title run in 33 starts.
