Meissner recorded an 11-under cumulative score at the Charles Schwab Challenge to finish tied with
Ben Griffin and
Alex Smalley for third.
ANALYSISMeissner posted scores of 66-67-67 over the first three days of the tournament and entered Sunday just two strokes back of 54-hole leader
Eric Cole. Meissner opened the final round with a birdie on the first hole before dropping a shot with a bogey on the third. He proceeded to card 12-straight pars, but that was a positive result given how the field struggled to gain ground during the final round. His birdie on the par-3 16th brought him to within one shot of Cole and eventual winner
Russell Henley, but Meissner was unable to join that duo in a playoff after back-to-back pars over his last two holes. It was the best finish of the season for Meissner, who ended the tournament fifth in scrambling, sixth in SG: Around-the-Green, T7 in birdies and 14th in both SG: Approach and Putting. His play off the tee held him back, however, as he connected on just 30 of 56 fairways (T62) and lost 0.39 strokes off the tee (54th). Thanks to his performance at Colonial Country Club, Meissner jumped to fourth in the Aon Swing 5, earning him a spot in the Memorial Tournament next week, which is the penultimate Signature Event of the 2026 season.
