Colonial again stands the test of time while testing the world’s best golfers

FORT WORTH, Texas — Luke Donald, who was once the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, made his debut in the Charles Schwab Challenge last week. And count Donald among the many golfers impressed by how well Colonial Country Club has aged over the years, continuing to test the sport’s elite in its 76th year.

It’s no surprise the last two golfers standing were top-10 players with No. 10 Sam Burns draining a long putt off the green to knock out No. 1 Scottie Scheffler in a playoff.

“Colonial is a good example of a course that isn’t long but is able to stand up against the modern game pretty well,” Donald said in a social media post. “Pretty tight, small, fast and undulating greens. Loads of options off the tee. I’m a fan.”
