Overview
- Russell Henley rallied with birdies on the final three holes in regulation and sank a five-foot birdie on the first sudden‑death hole to beat Eric Cole after they finished 12‑under 268.
- The playoff came after Cole, who led after 54 holes, dropped a double bogey at the par‑4 ninth when his approach found the pond and could not regain the advantage on the closing holes.
- Henley earned $1,782,000 for the win, his sixth PGA Tour title and his first since the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, and the result pushed his career earnings past $50 million.
- Cole collected $1,079,100 as runner‑up in his 120th Tour start and now has multiple top finishes but still seeks his first PGA Tour victory.
- Colonial’s firmer, post‑renovation setup made approach shots and short‑game putting decisive this week and the result gives Henley momentum and FedExCup points ahead of the Memorial and the U.S. Open.
