Charles Schwab Challenge

Berger wins playoff at Colonial in US PGA virus return

- 

Daniel Berger parred the first playoff hole Sunday to defeat Collin Morikawa and capture the Charles Schwab Challenge, the first US PGA event in three months after a coronavirus pandemic shutdown.

Berger went over the green with his approach at the par-4 17th in the playoff, chipped inches from the cup and tapped in, then watched Morikawa lip out from three feet on the left edge to deliver the emotional victory at Colonial Country Club.

It marked the biggest moment in Berger's fightback from a left wrist injury that threatened his career.

This is one of the greatest days of my life, from where I've been and where I've come from, Berger said. It has been a long year and a half. I'm happy to be here.
