The 2021 Charles Schwab Challenge witnessed a terrific ending on Sunday. Jordan Spieth received a tremendous reception from his hometown fans, but the Texas native could not close out and win the tournament. In the end, Jason Kokrak kept his calm and reigned supreme at the Colonial Country Club.
It was not a final round miracle that helped Jason Kokrak win the 2021 Charles Schwab Challenge. He was in contention right from Round 1, but Jordan Spieth was the heavy favorite owing to his string of successful displays at Fort Worth.
However, Spieth bogeyed the 15th and the 18th holes in the final round which caused his downfall. Kokrak committed similar errors, but he converted five birdies in Round 4, compared to Spieth’s two.

The 36-year-old joined the PGA Tour in 2012 and had to wait eight years for his first victory, which came in October 2020 at The CJ Cup. However, Kokrak brought up his second win sooner than expected and this only raises his ceiling for what’s to come this season.
The win at Fort Worth has also helped Jason Kokrak gain significant strides in the FedExCup Standings. He was 27th last week but has now broken into the Top 5 after clinching his second title of the season.
