Taylor Pendrith, who has battled through injuries throughout his career, finally showed what he can do when he’s healthy by winning the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with a birdie on the final hole. It’s his first tour win which came in his 74th start.
If there’s one way to get rid of the sting of watching your favourite team be eliminated from the NHL playoffs, it’s winning a PGA Tour event.
Pendrith made the turn in two-under par but on the back found himself missing a few key birdie opportunities and scrambling to make pars. A cadre of challengers tried to catch him, with playing partners Jake Knapp and Ben Kohles putting pressure on the leader. The finish was as stunning as it was sudden. Kohles missed and had to settle for par. Pendrith made birdie and won by a stroke.
“I'm not a huge golf history guy, but Byron Nelson is a special name, and for my name to be on that trophy is super special,” he said. “You know, it feels unbelievable, and to see some of those names on this trophy, it's crazy. I still can't believe that I'm a winner of this tournament.”
