Brennan wins Wyndham Championship; Theegala slips to tied 49th
Golf: Theegala slips to 49th as Brennan seals Wyndham Championship title · thehansindia.com

Michael Brennan won a big golf tournament called the Wyndham Championship.

He made five birdies in a row, which means he got the ball in the hole in fewer shots than expected five times in a row.

Sahith Theegala started the tournament super well with his best round of the week.

But on the last day, he did not play as well and dropped down to 49th place.

Even so, Theegala earned enough points to move on to the playoffs.

The playoffs are a special series of tournaments where the best golfers compete for a big prize.

Another golfer with Indian roots, Aaron Rai, also played well and made the playoffs.

The top 70 golfers in the FedExCup standings get to play in the playoffs.

Next week, the playoffs start at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee.
