Last week definitely changed a lot of things. I've thought about it. I definitely want to stay inside the top 50 in the world come end of the year. I've just got to focus on this tournament and try to compete as best I can," Brennan said (via Tee Scripts):"I feel like if I do that and go through my process like I normally do, that's all I can really do. Hopefully I play some good golf and am able to move up the ranks, not only stay where I am, but (connection lost)," he added.Michael Brennan was ranked outside the top 100 before the Bank of Utah Championship.

He said (via Tee Scripts):"The course is great. It's in great shape, fairways are really, really good. It's pretty forgiving off the tee. Have the opportunity to hit a lot of drivers and 3-woods, a lot of longer clubs off the tee. The greens have a lot of slope to them."They're pretty big and a lot of kind of ridges feeding the ball into the center of the green, which can be helpful if you use them properly, but if you get on the wrong side of them the chips and putts from off the greens could be really, really hard." he added.The 2025 Worldwide Technology Championship will be held at the El Cardonal at Diamante golf course in Mexico. The play on Thursday will start at 8:30 a.m. ET with Vince Whaley, Carson Young, and Jesper Svensson starting on the first tee hole.Michael Brennan will tee off in a group with Wyndham Clark and Keith Mitchell on the first tee time at 1:38 p.m. ET.
