The CJ Cup Byron Nelson Course
TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas.
The Byron Nelson has a long history and recently has hopped between venues but for the fifth year running we return to TPC Craig Ranch in Dallas. Craig Ranch is one of the easiest tracks the pros will play all year and Korean KH Lee has won two renewals here at 25 and 26 under par.
Fellow Korean Sung Kang won the event at Trinity Forest back in 2019 and it's worth noting that only five Americans have won this event in the last sixteen stagings.
That is probably due to the wind that often materialises in Texas with Internationals having a shade more experience growing up in those conditions.
Scott, Day and Bowditch have also won this event with Australians being well versed in playing in the wind. Ball striking is key around here, especially approach play.
Five of the top 5 and ties in 2022 ranked inside the top ten in approach play for the week whilst the exact same played out in 2021. The last two years approach play didn't feature so heavily but it's worth noting the 2023 winner Jason Day ranked 3rd with his irons for the week whilst the runner up last year Kohles ranked 7th in that department.
Driving distance doesn't matter all too much but certainly trumps accuracy. It's a place where birdies are needed on almost every other hole so birdie or better percentages are also worth a glance.
