AT&T Byron Nelson

TPC Four Seasons Resort at Las Colinas, Irving, TX,  7,166 yards, par 70

Defending champion: Sergio Garcia, defeated Brooks Koepka on the first playoff hole in 2016. He also won here in 2004. 

Weather: Questionable tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. Possible severe tomorrow and Friday, Saturday chance of heavy t-storms. Sunday looks good, so they may be playing 36 one day or two, who knows.

 

TV: Thursday-Friday, Golf Channel, 3-6 PM CT/4-7 PM ET. Saturday-Sunday, Golf, 12-1:30 PM CT/1-2:30 PM ET. CBS 2-5 PM CT/3-6 PM ET

Si Woo Kim with an amazing performance at the Players. The 21 year old looks like he has quite a future in front of him. Hard to project that, but winning the Players at 21 is strong. What a golf swing and scrambler. Up and down every time last Sunday. 

 

Winner

Going with the 27 year old from West Palm Beach, FL. He kind of let it get away from him last year, but I like him to seal the deal this weekend if they can get it in. A lot of really good competition with Sergio, Dustin Johnson, Spieth and Jason Day in it. But I’ll take last year’s runner-up.

Prediction to win Regions Tradition at Greystone CC in Birmingham

 

Sorry this is a little late, but I forgot to post this I have Bernhard Langer winning at Greystone. He’s at -6, 5 shots back of leader Scott Parel, who finished with a 66 today, and following a 67 yesterday, is at -11. Bernhardt is through 13 holes at the Greystone Founders course. You can predict if you’d like as well. Sorry I was late. I was going to predict Bernhardt when I wrote the Nelson on Wednesday, but it slipped my mind. Thanks.

  1. Your back in Texas and galaxy of stars appear. Garcia a favorite may be a bit shakey w his moonshot win last month. Word in the oily city is C Hoffman is subscribing to Samson’s Diary and letting his hair grow out, Again! That is when he won last. But back to the tourney and our favorite Texas gunslinger’s , J Spieth, game has not often faired well in Ponte Vedra, but I see a large bounce back in my crystal ball. Extra work this week after that trunk slamming Friday he had last week will come up with black gold, Texas tea that is. See him in Circle!

  2. Lee Jansen my pick. He lead w a few others after a 65 on Thursday. Tough trek on Friday w a 73. Keith Nolan is his caddy and a friend, so he’s my man. Keith and Lee played at BCC earlier this week. Keith played 36 holes on west with me and shot -1 from championship teas combined for both rounds. If his caddy can golf his ball like that, Lee is certain to contend. We will see.
