The 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson became a two-man race with two holes to go, where each player was aiming for their first victory on the PGA Tour.
In the end, it was Canadian Taylor Pendrith who took home the trophy at 23 under for his first win in his 74th start on the Tour. The 32-year-old shot a 4-under 67 on Sunday in the final round at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, to beat Ben Kohles (66) by one shot.
Entering the week, Pendrith had missed more cuts (six) than he had made (five) so far this season on Tour. His five made cuts featured four top-25 finishes, including a pair of T-11’s in his last two starts at the Corales Puntacana Championship and Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
