For Highland Park’s Scottie Scheffler, a win at hometown Byron Nelson holds special place

Scottie Scheffler‘s sublime Sunday round — stroll, really — began with a 309-yard drive and first-tee hug from Byron Nelson’s widow, Peggy.

Five hours of hole-by-hole cheers and utter domination later, the hometown kid-turned world’s No. 1 golfer became champion of the tournament he grew up attending, THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, and which gave him his first taste of PGA Tour competition at age 17.
