Michael Brennan Could Set a Unique PGA Tour Americas Record at Victoria Open
Michael Brennan, 23, is on the verge of making history at this week’s Victoria Open. The American golfer currently sits in second place after two rounds of the PGA Tour Americas event and is in strong contention to claim his fourth tournament victory of the season.
If Brennan wins the Victoria Open, he will become the first golfer to break into the top 100 in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) solely through points earned from PGA Tour Americas events. OWGR analyst Nosferatu highlighted this remarkable potential achievement on X (formerly Twitter) writing:
“Hasn’t happened yet, but this would be quite an achievement. If he wins again this week, 23yo Michael Brennan could become the first player to crack the #OWGR top 100 with ranking points earned ONLY on @PGATOURAmericas.”
Brennan started the tournament strong, taking the lead after the opening round with a fantastic 62. He followed up with a solid 67 on Friday but slipped to solo second place as A. J. Ewert carded an exceptional 59 to move into the lead. The four-day event will conclude on Sunday, September 21.
