Pete Brinck saved his best for the moment that mattered. At the May 9 West Seattle Open he posted a net 71 to share the Green Jacket points with Steve Rowe — the kind of round that moves a season. He finished the 2026 season twentieth in net at $1,902,500 and twenty-first in gross at $1,647,500.
A player who peaks when the card counts. Brinck doesn't need to be in front all day — he needs to be in front on the last green, and at West Seattle he was. Patient, unbothered, and dangerous on a tight net day.
Some guys grind all four events. Brinck just shows up and shares the Jacket.— overheard at West Seattle
The names tangled up with Brinck's West Seattle — and the race he just joined.
