AT&T Byron Nelson | Breakdown
TPC Four Seasons Resort in Irving, Texas is in its final year as being the home of the AT&T Byron Nelson. This week will mark the first of two consecutive events the Tour will play in the state of Texas (Dean & Deluca is at Colonial in Fort Worth next week).
It’s no secret that players consider TPC Four Seasons to be one of the worst courses of the year. The par 70 course has twelve par 4’s, so golfers with a good par 4 scoring average should be favored when constructing your daily fantasy lineups. Also, the fairly large greens at Four Seasons are bentgrass. Even the poorest of putters have historically done pretty well on these greens so putting stats will be faded for the Byron Nelson. Like last week at TPC Sawgrass, good ball strikers should be targeted along with golfers who statistically gain strokes on the field off the tee.
