FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Davis Riley shot even-par 70 while playing in the final group Sunday with Scottie Scheffler, and still won a subdued Colonial by five strokes over the world’s No. 1 player and Keegan Bradley for his first individual victory on the PGA Tour.
Davis Riley poses with the winner’s trophy at the Charles Schwab Challenge golf tournament at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas, Sunday, May 26, 2024. Richard Bland raises the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy after winning the Senior PGA Championship golf tournament Sunday, May 26, 2024, at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Mich. Richard Bland tees off on the fourth hole during the final round of the Senior PGA Championship held at Harbor Shores Sunday, May 26, 2024, in Benton Harbor, Mich.
The 27-year-old Riley’s only other PGA Tour victory came when he and Nick Hardy won the Zurich Classic team event in New Orleans last year. The Mississippi native’s win at historic Colonial, which had been completely restored since last year’s tournament, earned him $1,638,000, the traditional winner’s plaid jacket and a fully restored and modernized 1975 Stingray car.
In a final round delayed by about an hour because of storms, Bland hit what amounted to the winning shot on the par-5 15th, an approach to 6 feet for eagle. That took him from one shot behind Greg Chalmers to a one-shot lead when Chalmers could only manage a par. Norgaard had to settle for a 68 and a tie for second place with home favorite Thomas Pieters and Romain Langasque, who birdied the last for a 68.
