Kevin Na shot a 66 on Sunday at Colonial Country Club to capture the newly-named Charles Schwab Challenge.
Na finished his final day in Forth Worth, Texas with two bogeys offset by six birdies, highlighted by a final hole gain to reach 13-under par.
It was Na’s third PGA Tour title, and second in less than a year (2018 A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier).
This week’s Winner’s Circle is powered by Callaway Chrome Soft Golf Balls.

Quotable
“Yes I have. Well, according to go stats, they say this is a golf course that I’ve had the most leads in a tournament. I’ve had a lead at some point in the tournament the most out of all the tournaments I played. That tells you how much I like this place and how well I played here.
“I knew this is one of the places I can definitely win, and I really look forward to coming here, having a chance. To be able to do it today, it’s a great feeling.”
