Michael Brennan secured his place in the FedExCup Playoffs as he won the Wyndham Championship by three strokes from Beau Hossler.

Brennan had a run of five straight birdies between the fourth and eighth holes, and recovered from a bogey on the 11th by picking up further shots on the 13th and 18th holes, saving par on the 17th with an excellent second shot after running into the rough with his tee-shot.

Hossler, who shared the overnight lead with Brennan, had kept himself in touch with a birdie on the third and an eagle at the par-five fifth, but then bogeyed the ninth and 12th holes as Brennan surged forward.

“I did great for nine holes,” Brennan said. “I felt really good on the front nine. Just playing my game, I was really staying within myself, hitting good shots.

“Felt like I was really in control. Got a little nervous around 10 and 11. I made a really nice par putt on 12 and that kind of steadied me a little bit going through and I’m just glad to make a few putts coming in.

“It’s everything. I mean, I don’t want to be done playing golf. I feel like I’ve played the best golf I have all year the last couple weeks.

“Unfortunately, a couple tough Sundays, but outside of that, I’ve been playing really solidly. This is my sixth week in a row and so seven’s a lot, but I think I’m going to be perfectly happy running on fumes next week.”

England’s Harry Hall finished with a round of 65 to take a share of fifth place, one shot clear of compatriot Matt Wallace who had a share of seventh after he also closed with a 65.

Kayla McBride is the new WNBA single-game 3-point queen.

The 13-year veteran became the first player in league history to hit double-digit 3-pointers in one game, knocking down 10 triples in the Minnesota Lynx’s 103-90 win over the Dallas Wings. McBride set her career-high with 43 points Sunday, setting the single-game regulation scoring record for the Lynx franchise.

McBride was unconscious for most of the day, making her first four field-goal attempts and 12 of her first 13, which included six 3s. She went into a bit of a heat check after that stretch, missing three jumpers in a row to close the third quarter. But she rediscovered her form in the final frame, nailing four more triples to set the record and clinch the victory on the back-to-back for Minnesota.

“I love this game and it’s been so good to me,” McBride said on the broadcast postgame. “When I have opportunities like that, I want to give it back.”

Her 10th 3-pointer came on an assist from Napheesa Collier, McBride’s longest-tenured teammate in Minnesota.

The Lynx ran one more set for her to extend the record before giving her a curtain call with just more than a minute remaining. The Target Center crowd chanted “Kayla” after McBride went to the bench, and she became emotional on the corner of the court after time expired, taking in the love from the home fans.

“It’s crazy, I’ve been in this league for 13 years, and choosing to come back here in the offseason, I didn’t know — we didn’t know what it was going to look like,” McBride said on the broadcast after the game. “Moments like this, times like this, you realize you made the right decision.”

She is enjoying the most prolific shooting season of her career, taking and making more 3s than ever and averaging the most points (18.4) of her 134 seasons. Her 3-point percentage of 42.4 is the second-highest of her career, behind her final season in Las Vegas in 2019.

She ranks first in the WNBA in total made 3s and third in 3s per game behind Rhyne Howard and Marina Mabrey, both of whom have also drained nine 3-pointers in game (Mabrey has done so twice in 2026). Seven players, on nine occasions, had hit nine 3-pointers in a game before McBride’s record.

With the win, the Lynx earned a season series sweep over the Wings, who were playing without Azzi Fudd for the second consecutive contest. They have already clinched a playoff spot and are now 3 1/2 games ahead of Golden State atop the WNBA standings.
