Who to watch for at the AT&T Byron Nelson
Best Bets:
Bryson DeChambeau
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | CUT |
Is there anybody better for a course that has little rough, mostly straight holes and one that wants you to hit it far. That’s TPC Craig Ranch and that made Bryson the guy to beat. Bryson probably wishes he could play TPC Craig Ranch every day since it’s a course he can rip apart every time he plays. Despite just making the cut finishing T-9th at Wells Fargo, also T-3rd at the Players, and won Palmer.
Jordan Spieth
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T29 | T21 | CUT | T18 | T30 | T37 | T68 | T32 | T16 |
Nobody floating any higher than Spieth with his great play in the last four months. Won Valero Texas Open, T-3rd at the Masters his game has been very sharp since January.
Keith Mitchell
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T59 | T3 |
Every time he hits Florida swing his game heats up, he is playing great right now, he is 10th in driving distance all measured. Was T-3rd at Wells Fargo, also T-4th at the Zurich Classic with Brandt Snedeker
Best of the rest:
Jon Rahm
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
He too will be able to let it all out this week and produce low numbers. Had an anomaly in missing the cut at the Wells Fargo, his first missed cut in almost a year, has had 13 top-tens since then.
Hideki Matsuyama
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T23 | T16 |
Should be very fresh after not playing since the Masters and returning home to Japan a hero. His Master’s win wasn’t surprising, the same if he wins this week, he does hit the ball long so should enjoy playing TPC Craig Ranch.
Sergio Garcia
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | T20 | Win | T20 |
Winner of the Byron Nelson in 2016, Sergio will feel at home on this course. Yes he missed the cut at the Masters and Heritage, but on bombers courses was T-9th at the Players and T-6th at the Dubai Desert Classic.
Brooks Koepka
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
4 | T50 | 2 | T16 | CUT |
will love this course, look for some low scoring coming out of him. Has been rehabbing his knee since missing the cut at the Masters, think things will be different for him this week.
Those that aren’t bombers but will do very well:
Scottie Scheffler
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T35 | T22 |
He is very sneaky long, is T-28th in driving distance, all drives so he could do very well on this course. Runner-up at the Matchplay, was 5th at WGC-Concession and T-18th at the Masters.
Will Zalatoris
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | CUT |
Have to think that despite missing the cut at Wells Fargo, his course is up his alley since he is T-21st in driving distance. One of the big stories on the PGA Tour in 2021, looking to get back some of his form which helps him finish 2nd a the Masters and T-6th at the U.S. Open.
Scottie Scheffler
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T72 |
Another sneaky long driver who could find TPC Craig Ranch to his liking, was 20th in driving distance. Coming off his first win on tour at Valspar could produce another great week of golf.
Marc Leishman
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 | T13 | CUT | CUT | T3 | T12 | T3 | CUT | T12 | T8 |
Winner in his last start at Zurich with partner Cameron Smith. Played well at the Masters T-5th, T-4th at Sony Open. His last individual win came on a bombers course Torrey Pines in the 2020 Farmers.
Long shots that could come through:
Matt Fitzpatrick
2021 | ’20 | ’19 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

More info:
One of the shortest hitters on tour, still he can play well on any type of course. Showed that he is close to his first win, T-4th in his last start at Heritage, T-9th at the Players.

Haven’t heard much from him in 2021 and frankly, that’s because we haven’t tried. Since the U.S. Open in September he has played 8 times and only finished out of the top=25 twice.

All month I have been talking about him, he has played well in Dallas and this month has had a good run, lots of value with him
