Na and Harms have been working together for 11 years, and the two had come to an arrangement before this week's event started regarding the muscle car that was proudly displayed not far from the 18th green, an arrangement Na had no problem making good on, with one caveat - he wanted to rev the engine first.
Na, whose name will be etched into Colonial’s granite Wall of Champions, didn’t go home empty-handed. He won $1.31 million and the Leonard Trophy after birdieing four of the first eight holes on Sunday and shooting a 4-under-par 66 to hold off Tony Finau for the championship.
Before handing keys to the Dodge Challenger to Harms, he revved the engine while wearing the traditional tartan winner’s jacket.
The car — badged not as Dodge, but with one-off Schwab badging as a “Schwab Challenger” — mixes a vintage body with modern amenities and is covered in custom Glacier Blue paint. It also features touches of Colonial Country Club’s trademark Scottish royal tartan on the seats, serving as a tribute to the awarding of a tartan plaid jacket to the event’s champions.
to celebrate the 73 years the tournament has been played at Colonial Country Club and the coincidence that Charles Schwab was incorporated in 1973 and has begun a 4 year sponsorship of the PGA Tour’s Charles Schwab Challenge, Charles Schwab awarded this Pure Vision 1973 Dodge Challenger.
