Russell Henley birdied the final three holes to force a playoff with Eric Cole, then made it four in a row with a 5-footer on the first extra hole Sunday at Colonial to win the Charles Schwab Classic.
Henley’s late surge denied fellow 37-year-old Cole his first PGA Tour win on a day when Ben Griffin came up just short of becoming the only player other than Ben Hogan to win consecutive tournaments at Colonial.
Henley earned $1.78 million for his sixth PGA Tour title and also got the plaid jacket and a customized 1982 Jeep Scrambler vehicle.
