PGA Tour Charles Schwab Challenge final scoreboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/charles-schwab-challenge/leaderboard.html
Starting his day with a bogey 6 wasn't what Corey Connors had in mind as he began Sunday just 3 shots off the lead, however he steadied himself with an even par 35 going out, but after T3 in birdies all week, he couldn't make any coming in, all pars, 1 bogey 71 for a -9 271 total, T19.
Daniel Berger was 107th in the world starting the week but had 3 top 10 finishes in his last events before the season was shut down.
He and Colin Morikawa ended up in a playoff, after the latter missed a 6 footer for the win on his last hole, then missed a 3 footer for par in the playoff, leaving Berger with the win.
Justin Rose, Bryson DeChambeau shot 66, Jason Kokrak 64 and Xander Schauffele 69 to all end up -14 T3..
Berger stood alone on the 18th in the tartan jacket, hoisted the trophy in complete silence while a few photographers were allowed to take the pictures you've seen today.
Adam Hadwin shot a final round 72 T43 at -4. Many of the big names floundered as well, Rory shot 74, Spieth and Thomas 71, Varner 72.
The good news is the members of the Colonial Club won't need a clean up crew at their course today.
Next week it's the RBC Heritage up at Hilton Head with another strong but silent cast including 5 Canadians.

Connors right in the shoot-out at the Charles Schwab Challenge Live scoring
PGA Tour Charles Schwab Challenge Live scoring https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/charles-schwab-challenge/leaderboard.html
"It really just feels like I'm playing a round with my friends" says leader Xander Schauffele after his -4 66 -13 total, and it is, except today 14 of the top players on the PGA Tour are within 3 shots of him as this quiet stroll along the iconic fairways and greens of the Colonial Golf Club in Fort Worth gets decided later this evening.
No roars on the back nine, no trophy presentation, media sequestered in trailers, neighbours cutting their lawns or watching from their balconies, all very unlike any Sunday before COVID_19 changed all our lives and continues to ravage Americans, surges in Brazil, India, Sweden the UK and now in Africa.
Justin Thomas, Branden Grace, Jordan Spieth, Gary Woodland and Colin Morikawa are all at -12. Harold Varner is at -11, Rory McIlroy is at -10 and they will all have their say today for the tartan jacket, 500 Fed Ex points and oh yes a very hefty paycheck.
So will Corey Connors who has had a great week 66 67 67 -10 and he is right in the thick of this challenge which seems likely to go to a playoff. He is paired with the quiet English gentleman Justin Rose.
Connors, like the late great George Knudson is one of the games best ball strikers, and he leads the field in greens in regulation with a staggering 81.48% including 16/18 yesterday. He is T3 in birdies with 17.
Adam Hadwin is currently T34 65 71 68 -6 with round 4 now well under way and their is already a -6 64 on the board from American, Brian Stuard.

Connors moves into contention at Charles Schwab Challenge
PGA Tour Charles Schwab Challenge leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/charles-schwab-challenge/lehtmladerboard.
Corey Connors 66 67 -7 T12 has moved into contention in the Charles Schwab Challenge at the Colonial Club in Fort Worth Texas. He's 4 shots behind the leader Harold Varner III at -11.
Adam Hadwin slipped from his opening 65 to a +1 71 and at -4 is T26. The cut fell at -2 and Mac Hughes narrowly missed it 69 71 E
All 3 players will be in the RBC Heritage next week at Harbour Town.
Varner began play on the 10th and drove wildly through the trees, had to take a penalty and ended up with a triple bogey. However with that out of the way he recovered with 8 birdies for -4 66 and leads the star studded field at -11 going into this weekend.
Right behind him playing at home in Texas in front of no fans, just like he has for so many rounds at Colonial with his buddies, Jordan Spieth shot his second 65 along with Bryson DeChambeau to sit second at -10. Once the darling of the PGA Tour Spieth hasn't won since 2017.
Rory McIlroy summed the weekend up after his -7 63 -9 " This leaderboard is a who's who of golf right now and I'm just happy to be in the mix". For complete scores click on my link above.

Adam Hadwin leads Canadians T6 at Charles Schwab Challenge.. LIVE Scoring
PGA Tour Charles Schwab Challenge leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/charles-schwab-challenge/leaderboard.html
An ideal Texas day at the iconic Colonial Country Club, sun drenched with a little breeze greeting the return of the wealthy young men who make up the PGA Tour as pro golf returns in the unusually quiet, private fairways that are generally reserved for members only.
In a marked contrast not far away at the Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth deals with a record number of COVID-19 sick Texans, as the pandemic surges in the Lone Star state where nearly 2000 new patients were admitted on June 8th and 75,000 Texans have tested positive for the virus.
Questioning the decision by the PGA Tour to go ahead with a compromised edition of this 2020 season will continue, however for golf fans sitting safely at home at least it was a welcome sight, albeit a very sedate one.
Justin Rose and "HVIII" or Harold Varner opened with -7 63's to take the lead after round 1. I will remind you that Varner is one of a few black golfers in pro golf, which of course became a bigger story as America deals with the murder of George Floyd.
Adam Hadwin had a great return with a T6 -5 65 with 8 birdies and 3 bogeys, hitting 10/14 fairways.
Corey Connors was a shot behind T15 -4 66 with a front nine -5 30 his only blemish a double at the par 3 13th.
MacKenzie Hughes is T57 -1 69 and that is where the cut is projected.
Headliners Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy -2 68, Phil Mickelson -169, Jon Rahm -1 69.

2021 RBC Canadian Open goes to St Georges GC in Toronto.
Golf Canada and title sponsor RBC have confirmed that the membership of St. George’s Golf and Country Club in Toronto has agreed to host the 2021 RBC Canadian Open, with nearby Islington Golf Club housing the official practice facility for the tournament.
The two facilities were scheduled to host the 2020 RBC Canadian Open this week (June 8-14), prior to the event being cancelled because of international travel and government restrictions related to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
We are thrilled to host the 2021 RBC Canadian Open at St. George’s Golf and Country Club,” said Mary DePaoli, Executive Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer, RBC. “As one of the top five golf courses in Canada, and one of the top 30 in the world, St. George’s is not only an incredible golf course but a world-class venue. Building off of last year’s momentum, we look forward to working together with our partners at Golf Canada and the PGA TOUR to make next year’s event one to remember.”
This year's CP Women's Open may well get the axe this year, due to be held at Shaughnessy GC in Vancouver September 3-6 as the Canadian/ US border is unlikely to be open by then with COVID-19 raging in the States.

Live Leaderboards :Canadians playing this week on PGA and Korn Ferry Tours..
PGA Tour Charles Schwab Challenge field https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/charles-schwab-challenge/tee-times.html.
There is a pretty strong field at the Charles Schwab Challenge at the Colonial Club in Texas as you'd expect with everyone off for the last 12 weeks or so, the top 5 and most of the top 20 will play with no spectators, and full self isolation rules in place.
Corey Connors, Adam Hadwin, Mac Hughes, are the 3 Canucks with the full field listed on my link above.
I'm torn about this with the USA leading the world by far with positive cases of the COVID-19 and to be frank having watched recent resumptions of play in the Korean Baseball League and the German Bundisliga in vast empty stadiums with no passion or atmosphere all, this is not going to be an "on the edge of your seat"return to play for whoever tunes in to the PGA broadcast this week
This event was originally slated fro May 21-24. Kevin Na shot a final round 62 last year for the win. McIlroy, DJ, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm and Phil (50) Mickelson are all in the field.
