First 90 secondsColt Knost· Host0:00
[upbeat music] All right, everybody, welcome back to Sub Par with Colt Knost and Drew Stoltz. The Texas swing is over. The Charles Schwab Challenge, the house that Sleaz built- Mm-hmm ... at Colonial Country Club.
Drew Stoltz· Host0:20
Correct.
Colt Knost· Host0:20
Russell Henley, what a performance on the back nine from him. A little 31 on the back, including birdies at 16, 17, and 18 that got him into a playoff with Eric Cole. And all, all he did was just follow it up with another birdie on the first playoff hole to pick up his sixth PGA Tour win and surpass 50 mil in career earnings.
Drew Stoltz· Host0:38
Good run. Good run.
Colt Knost· Host0:40
I asked you this on radio, and you actually had a good guess, 'cause obviously it's gonna be something stupid, because I said, "Where do you think Russell ranks on the PGA Tour career money list?" And you guessed 20. He's actually 17.
Drew Stoltz· Host0:53
Yeah.

Drew Stoltz· Host0:54
17.
Colt Knost· Host0:54

50... I mean, it's gonna just keep changing year in, year out. I saw this crazy thing too, 'cause Joaquin N- Nieman just won on Liv.
Colt Knost· Host1:00
Yeah.
Drew Stoltz· Host1:01
His Liv earnings would be top five all time.
Colt Knost· Host1:03
Yeah.
Drew Stoltz· Host1:03
Just since Liv started.
Colt Knost· Host1:04
He's won eight times over there.
Drew Stoltz· Host1:05
So yeah, good run. Good time to be good at golf, and Henley's doing exactly that. He's like... I think we're seeing the best Henley that we've seen maybe since he turned pro, like, right now. Like, h- he's the straightest driver on the PGA Tour. His iron game's always been really good. Putters solid. Like, he doesn't have... If you go down and look at his stats, there's not one that, like, stands out like, "Oof, that's not great," other than driving distance, which is skewed. He hits it, like, 295 and it's, he's
