Henley Stuns in Playoff Thriller

Russell Henley clawed his way to victory at the Charles Schwab Challenge with a dramatic playoff win over Eric Cole, sinking birdies on the final three holes to force sudden death—and then nailing the first playoff hole to claim the title. The win catapults Henley to 11th in the FedExCup standings and nets him $1.782 million plus a 2029 exemption. Cole, who led after round three in his 120th TOUR start, finishes second for over $1 million and earns a Memorial Tournament exemption. The tournament featured eight lead changes and marked the fourth playoff this season—and the fourth in the last seven Schwab Challenges. Last year’s champ Ben Griffin tied for third with Alex Smalley and Mac Meissner, both of whom also snagged spots at Muirfield Village.
