Byron Nelson 2021 - TPC Craig Ranch, McKinney, Texas

 We have another new course for the PGA Tour this week, one week ahead of the PGA Championship to be played at Kiawah Island. Last week we were in Charlotte, North Carolina some 3 hours north of Kiawah but this week we have headed out west towards Dallas to play at TPC Craig Ranch. Those that tee it up next week will make the trip back ! That in itself, suggests the market leaders may be using this week as a pure warm up and dont be surprised to see some of those miss the cut as they focus on the second Major instead. Well....try tell Jordan Spieth that as he won in Texas the week before the Masters and he may find being back home this week to his liking. None of the market leaders are for me though here.


Camilo Villegas is of interest @ 150/1. The Colombian has shown solid form of late as he has slowly resumed life on tour following personal tragedy for he and his wife last July.

A TOP-10 to add to two T-20s & T-25 shows he's playing well.


I put up Marc Leishman at Riviera where he finished a low 32nd but I'm willing to chance him again here at an event he has done very well over the years. From his last 10 starts at the Byron Nelson at Trinity Forest GC and TPC Four Seasons, the Aussie has banked a lot of top results....and cash to boot!

A runners up finish last time out in 2018 behind Aaron Wise followed some serious results in between three missed cuts and he's taken to repeat again @ 33/1 - 8 places


Selections

1 pt e/w C. Villegas @ 1501 - 8 places
2 pts e/w M. Leishman @ 33/1 - 8 places
