Taylor Pendrith leads the CJ Cup Byron Nelson after 54 holes, but scores have been low at TPC Craig Ranch this week, meaning he’ll have to keep up his pace to win for the first time in his PGA Tour career.
Pendrith sits at 19 under, which is good for a one-stroke lead over Jake Knapp. Also in contention are Ben Kohles and Matt Wallace (17 under), Alex Noren and Kelly Kraft (15 under), and a group of four players at 14 under. But lots can happen to shake up the leaderboard on Sunday. So far this week, there’s been one 62 and three 63s.
The total purse for the CJ Cup Byron Nelson is $9.5 million, with the winner receiving $1.71 million. The runner-up also gets seven figures, taking home $1.035 million.
