“Crazy s**t can happen.”
Sitting three shots off the lead after 54 holes of the Charles Schwab Challenge, that was Harold Varner's response to being asked what he learned from his Saudi Invitational win in February, in which he prevailed with a walk-off 90-foot putt.
And the same answer rang true Sunday for Varner at Colonial. However, this time, it was the flip side of the coin.
Varner, looking for his maiden PGA Tour victory, walked up to Colonial's par-4 12th tied for the lead. He hit his drive 317 yards down the right side of the fairway and had just 126 yards to the hole.
