“#Daniel Berger emerges as shocking Charles Schwab Challenge winner<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n FORT WORTH, Texas \u2014 Daniel Berger was emotional, and he had every reason to be moved.<\/p>\n

Berger captured the Charles Schwab Challenge, the first PGA Tour event following a three-month pause because of the COVID-19 pandemic, in a one-hole playoff over Collin Morikawa on Sunday at Colonial Country Club.<\/p>\n

The Charles Schwab Challenge was the first of four PGA Tour events that are being played without spectators as a safety precaution as the nation attempts to recover from the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

For Berger, his third career PGA Tour victory did not come easy. When many expected one of the big names on the leaderboard to emerge as the victor Sunday \u2014 No. 1-ranked Rory McIlroy was in the mix to start the day, as were Justin Thomas, Justin Rose, Bryson DeChambeau and reigning U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland to name a few.<\/p>\n

Berger, ranked 107th in the world and coming back from a hand and wrist injury, was not the name many expected to be the last man standing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were so many times today where I could have given it up or let the pressure get to me, but I hung in there and I played practically some of the best golf I\u2019ve played the last six years the last five holes,\u2019\u2019 Berger said of his final-round 66. \u201cI just kept telling myself, \u2018Why not me today?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

Morikawa may spend some time after Sunday asking, \u201cWhy me?\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

He had a chance to seize the tournament when he had a seven-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to get to 16-under and take the lead into the clubhouse. It was a putt every player dreams about.<\/p>\n

Morikawa, who a year ago was still in college at Cal, tugged the putt slightly and slid the ball past the cup on the left side.<\/p>\n

After Xander Schauffele \u2014 victimized by a four-foot putt that did a 360 around the cup on 17 and stayed out for a bogey that doomed his chances \u2014 failed to get to 15-under with a birdie on 18, Berger and Morikawa went back to 17 for a playoff.<\/p>\n

Berger got up and down for a nifty par save from the rough behind the green and Morikawa had a three-footer for par to extend the playoff to the 18th, but his putt cruelly rimmed out of that same evil cup that refused to allow Schauffele\u2019s putt in about 30 minutes earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 18 I actually hit a really good putt, [but] it was a really bad misread,\u2019\u2019 Morikawa said. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m going to have my head down after that because it was a putt pretty much to win it. What happ<\/a>ened on the playoff hole was just not a good putt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one I had full control [of]. This one bites a little harder.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Berger knows the feeling, having gone 0-for-2 in previous playoffs, lowlighted by losing to that famous Jordan Spieth hole-out from the sand to win the 2017 Travel<\/a>ers Championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I\u2019ve been on the other end of that,\u2019\u2019 Berger said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to hurt for a little while, but he\u2019ll get over it and he\u2019ll be winning again. It was tough. Obviously, it was a three-footer, but it was a sliding left-to-righter and by no means was it a gimme.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I was at home playing with my buddies for 20 bucks I\u2019d be making them putt it. You\u2019ve got to get the ball in the hole, and it\u2019s unfortunate that it ended that way, but it\u2019s just the way golf goes.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Quietly, Berger has been one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour of late. Sunday marked his 28th consecutive round at par or better dating to Oct. 11 at the Houston Open. The PGA Tour record is 52.<\/p>\n

This round, though, paid huge dividends. Given the major championship caliber field the historic relevance of this event, it\u2019s the biggest win of his career. Interestingly, Berger\u2019s only other two wins came at the 2016 and 2017 St. Jude Classic, an event that usually takes place the second week of June \u2014 same as this past week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when I won my first couple times, I took it a little bit for granted thinking that every year it was just going to be easy and you\u2019d have that chance to win,\u2019\u2019 Berger said. \u201cBut it\u2019s tough out here. It\u2019s cutthroat, and the best players in the world every week are showing up. I worked my butt off the last year to be in this position, and I\u2019m just glad it all paid off.\u2019\u2019\n <\/p><\/div>\n
