Daniel Berger wins Colonial playoff after lip-outs cost Morikawa, Schauffele

With a par on the first extra hole, Daniel Berger won the Charles Schwab Challenge in a playoff over Collin Morikawa, when Morikawa lipped out a par putt from 3 feet. Here’s how Berger took the first event of the PGA Tour’s mid-pandemic restart at Colonial:

Leaderboard: Berger (-15), Morikawa (-15), Jason Kokrak (-14), Bryson DeChambeau (-14), Justin Rose (-14), Xander Schauffele (-14)

What it means: This is Berger’s third PGA Tour win and first in three years, since successfully defending the FedEx St. Jude Classic in June of 2017. The 2016 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, Berger saw his early success on Tour slowed by a wrist injury that hampered him for the better part of two years, in both 2018 and 2019.
