Playing on Sponsor Exemption, Michael Brennan Shoots 64 to Increase Lead at Black Desert

On Friday, Michael Brennan shot a 65 to take a one-stroke lead in the darkness-suspended second round at the Bank of Utah Championship at Black Desert.
After a late-summer burst, Brennan won three times in a four-event stretch on the PGA Tour Americas and topped the season points list to take the first of 10 Korn Ferry Tour spots this year.
At 10-under 132, Brennan sits atop the leaderboard after making a 40-foot eagle putt on the par-5 ninth while playing on a sponsor exemption.
With three tournaments remaining, FedEx Cup positions are crucial as Jackson Suber , Justin Lower , and Pierceson Coody chase the top 100 cutoff to keep full PGA Tour cards for the 2026 season.
Defending champion Matt McCarty shot a 65 after a back-nine 7-under 28, while first-round leader Thorbjorn Olesen was 7 under after a 70.
