Yee Haw! Welcome to Texas and The Byron Nelson by AT&T. This weeks venue is at TPC King Ranch, it’s just a tiny hop from next weeks PGA major in Tulsa, the second major of the year and one of the reasons this field is loaded much more than normal. This field has plenty of home state talent to cheer including Scottie Scheffler, Jordan Spieth and Will Zalatoris along with Ryan Palmer and Dylan Frittelli among the more notable players from the Lone Star State.
This tourney is a little tougher to handicap, the soft pricing is due to all the talent scheduled to tee off, and at the same time a lot of the top tier talent spent time at Southern Hills this week playing practice rounds, which suggests that it may be more important to the people who aren’t invited to Southern Hills next week and they realize this is the here and now for them and they won’t be practicing shots for the PGA major, they are just trying to win The Byron Nelson.
Last year K.H. Lee won with a -25 under par. The rest of the top 10 was littered with non marquee names like Kizzire, Schwartzel, Stallings, Merritt, Bramlett and Redman. Bronson Burgoon and Luke Donald were just outside the top 10. That’s 70% of players that never made it out of the 7 K salary range, Burns, Berger and Spieth are names that you normally see who also made the top 10 and please note that Berger isn’t playing this years tourney.

My picks for The Byron Nelson by AT&T
Top Tier: DJ
Mid Tier: Vegas, Gooch
Low Tier: Munoz
Out in Left Play: Wolff
Frisky Risky Biscuit Play: * In Discord later Tonight ! *Risky
FR Leader: Spieth
FR Leader: Munoz (Contrarian)
Be sure to check out Spenser’s and Stix’s Bettor Golf podcast on Anchor at Spotify. Stix had to work at his real 40 hour job this week, (not the hundred hours he pours over his ‘hobby” which is DFS sports).Spencer did an admirable job on his own coming in at just over 17 minutes, if you want to double your DK cash account, spent 17 minutes and listen to this podcast, pure manna from heaven, and a good way to increase that bankroll.
Don’t miss out on the very popular and fun PGA DraftCast with Joel, (Joe Nicely from RB subbed for Sia, did an excellent job) and Spencer (golf writer of the year) and you, the audience, every Tuesday night at 8:00 EST!
STOP THE PRESSES ! You won’t believe this but we now have DEKI- GATE, Sia was on a plane last night so he missed the livestream, kind of. He weighed in and helped the audience from 40,000 feet until it got to the last two picks, first it was Deki/ Wu, then after much hand wringing, Joel, benevolent Joel, scratched those two picks and allowed the audience to pick Adam Scott and Patton Kizzire. Then he got jumped on for allowing the change and anarchy prevailed. New rules for next week: No boxing gloves or gladiator weapons allowed on the livestream! Everyone is going to see who would have done better during the tourney, who is your choice ? Would you take Deki/ Dylan Wu or Scott/Kizzire? Let us know in Discord! The over under on Lindsay using caps and exclamation points was a paltry 225, everyone chose over. There was an alleged producer from ESPN 30/30 wanting to get involved, and Ivan proclaimed who he wanted to play himself in the upcoming Deki-Gate movie, and we all agreed Ryan Reynolds should play Sia’s part because…the hair, the looks. By the way, say Happy Birthday to Sia in Discord regardless of what pair you wanted. He works tirelessly and is dedicated to making Win Daily Sports, and especially the Win Daily Golf content the best on the planet. Happy Birthday Mr. Hair!
As always, I hope to be with you on Sunday afternoon, in the money. You can also come and hang out in the Win Daily Sports Discord Chat to talk it out with everyone before the lock!
