2019 AT&T Byron Nelson Preview
The PGA Tour pays its respects to one of golf legend’s this week at the AT&T Byron Nelson in Dallas, Texas. Last year, Aaron Wise set a tournament scoring record on his way to a 3-stroke victory over Marc Leishman for his first PGA Tour win, and he’s back to defend his title against an elite field. Despite the PGA Championship being in May and following the Byron Nelson, it hasn’t stopped the world’s best players from participating. Brooks Koepka, the reigning PGA Champion and Player of the Year, headlines the field which also includes Texas-native major champion Jordan Spieth, former Byron Nelson winner Sang-Moon Bae, and recent co-winner in New Orleans Ryan Palmer.
Jimmy Walker: He played his college golf in Texas and now makes his home there. He finished tied for sixth last year, but has not had a victory since his triumph at the PGA Championship in 2016. This week is a great opportunity for him to find the form that he knows he’s capable of.
