AT&T Byron Nelson, the last TOUR stop before the PGA Championship 2021

PGA TOUR 2021 - AT&T Byron Nelson, TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, TX: 13-16 May


From Adam Stanley, The First Look
:

StorylinesDallas native and Special Temporary Member Will Zalatoris, runner-up at the Masters, will be aiming for his first PGA TOUR win. He first played Byron Nelson as a pro in 2018; he played in 2016 as a teenage amateur. Zalatoris missed the cut at the Wells Fargo Championship, his first early exit since November… While TPC Craig Ranch is new for the tournament, it’s not for the defending champion. Sung Kang is a member of the club and looks to become the first since Tom Watson to defend his Byron Nelson title. Watson won three years in a row.

Last time:  With the 2020 AT&T Byron Nelson cancelled due to the pandemic, this year sees Sung Kang defend his 2019 title – his maiden TOUR victory. After a 61 in the second round, Kang converted the 54-hole lead and won by two over Matt Every and Scott Piercy despite bogeying the 72nd hole.   Read more

From Kevin Robbins, PGA TOUR:

Matsuyama returns.

In stark contrast to recent weeks back in his homeland Japan, the return of Hideki Matsuyama to the PGA TOUR happened when no one was looking.

In preparation for the AT&T Byron Nelson, the Masters champion first played nine quiet holes Monday morning. He then spent two hours practicing on Tuesday, set up on a lonely lobe of a putting green in low temperatures and an eerie mist with his caddie. It wasn’t all quiet though, as he was interrupted now and again by other players with their messages of congratulations and goodwill.

It has been a month to the day since Matsuyama, 29, became the first man from Japan to win a major championship.  Read more
