He then attempted to salvage the shot by braving the mud, taking off his shirt first.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting shot was not quite worth all of that effort. Brennan tried to cut the ball up out of the water, but it flew a couple feet in the air \u2014 spraying water and debris on Brennan \u2014 before it fell right back in.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for Brennan, the Zurich Classic is a team event. Brennan\u2019s partner, Johnny Keefer, made par on the hole, meaning that they could take Keefer\u2019s score rather than Brennan\u2019s in the four-ball format.<\/p>\n<p>Brennan and Keefer finished their round at 11-under par, tied for fourth place and three shots behind the leading team of Alex Smalley and Hayden Springer. The duo delivered an eagle apiece to hit the mark, with Brennan contributing four birdies to their team score and Keefer carding three of his own.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thu, April 23, 2026 at 8:01 PM UTC Michael Brennan went all in on a swamp shot in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":749578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[47],"tags":[1430,308270,163359,62,67,132,68,308269],"class_list":["post-749577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-johnny-keefer","tag-michael-brennan","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-zurich-classic"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116459050753939271","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=749577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/749578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=749577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=749577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=749577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
