Ah yes, the Byron Nelson.
One of the oldest stops on Tour, dating back to 1944.
All in all, it’s a pretty long course but there are plenty of opportunities to score.
Especially on the three Par 5’s.
It’s a Tom Weiskopf design finished in 2004, and is named after real estate developer David Craig.
You’ll see in the diagram above that Rowlett Creek runs throughout the property.
That will lead to a lot of mid to long irons from 175+.
3 of the 4 par 3’s are from 200+ too.
Needless to say, the course plays pretty long.
Best Hole - 14th Hole Par 4, 330 yards
Love a good drivable par 4.
Gonna be a fun one.
Could be a messy one.

CBS this weekend.
The Trophy
Is that a… vase?
Get this thing out of my face.1/10.
I’d rather lay some cash further on the board.
Gonna roll withAdam Scott +3300.
Adam has sneaky played some great golf over the past year.
Plus I’ve convinced myself that Aussie golf is much like Texas golf.
Dried out firm courses with windy conditions.
I don’t have any hard numbers to back that up, but it makes sense in my brain.
Just go with it.
Just a couple former world #1’s duking it out.
And that’s it.
One of my shorter ones…. big time ready for Oak Hill next week.
