At the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch on Sunday, another first-time champion on the PGA Tour might take the title. At 19 under, Taylor Pendrith leads Jake Knapp by one stroke and Ben Kohles and Matt Wallace by two strokes going into the fourth round.
In his quest for his first PGA Tour victory, Pendrith relied on back-to-back eagles in his third round, finishing with an 8-under 63 to hold the lead with 18 holes remaining. Pendrith will not be given it because he is up against a player like Knapp, who only a few months ago crossed the finish line for the first time in his career.
While Alex Noren, a previous member of the top-10 in the world, is still in the running at 15 under, Wallace and Kohles are only two behind. Before what promises to be a thrilling Sunday in Texas, Byeong Hun An completes the group of famous players within five strokes of the lead.
