of the Byron Nelson 14 years ago when Jordan Spieth generated plenty of headlines as the local teenager contending on the weekend., thanks to a victory perhaps just as important as that first one on the PGA Tour. Spieth is the highest-ranked player in a relatively weak field, still chasing an elusive win at the event now known as the CJ Cup Byron Nelson.
Because of those heady days, it won't be the first time Spieth is the top-ranked player in his hometown event. At the moment, the three-time major champion is ranked 20th and one of just three top-30 players in the Nelson. Day is next at No. 22. “I think he wishes he could be in two places at once,” Spieth said of Scheffler. “For the tournament, it’s unlucky to have that be the case because they’re both tremendous players and big names and local guys. I love competing against them.”
Spieth won all three of his majors — the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open — from 2015-17, but has just two victories since winning at Royal Birkdale almost seven years ago. Now a 36-year-old father of five, Day ended a five-year drought with his 13th PGA Tour victory at the Nelson last year. The win came on Mother's Day, about a year after the Australian's mom died following a cancer battle that coincided with Day's struggles with injuries and vertigo.
