McKINNEY, Texas – The AT&T Byron Nelson continues to be a white whale of sorts for Jordan Spieth.
From his debut in this event in 2010 as a 16-year-old sponsor invite, Spieth has circled it as one of the tournaments that he never misses and desperately wants to win. He came his closest (yet) in his 11th attempt, shooting a final-round 5-under 67 for a 72-hole total of 25-under 263 and one shot behind winner K.H. Lee. His runner-up finish topped last year’s T-9 at TPC Craig Ranch as his best result at the Nelson.
“I love playing at home, I would love to win it some day,” Spieth said. “I had a good chance here, I don’t think I ever really had the lead on my own, I think I had a putt to maybe get the lead on my own on 10. But it would be nice to close one out.”
