Charles Schwab Challenge Course

Colonial Country Club, Fort Worth, Texas. 

At just over 7200 yards this track is short by today's standards and with plenty of dog legs dotted throughout the course it tests a players ability to strategise.

Typically, driving distance didn't matter at all here, but surprisingly Kokrak topped that statistic when winning in 2021, and Burns was 3rd when winning the following year. It reverted to type last year once again with Grillo ranking 66th in driving distance.

This is a place where ball striking is key and if you can marry that with a performing putter then you're in business. Hitting these small greens in regulation with regularity will give you an advantage on the rest and as you can see below the last three winners have ranked no worse than 8th in that statistic. 

The winners and placers here down the years are littered with top 10 performers in approach play for the week. Concentrate on that area alone and you can narrow down your search for potential winners here at Colonial.
