Scottie Scheffler Aims for 2025 Victory at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson After Leading on Debut Day
Golf superstar Scottie Scheffler is hoping to snag his first win of the year at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, after securing a six-shot lead on the opening day.
Last year belonged to Scheffler, who's currently ranked as the world number one. He's returned to Texas with wins in mind, especially since a victory at this event would set him up perfectly for the upcoming PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club on May 15.
Scheffler's been flying high, and after two rounds, he's sitting pretty at 18 under. Notable champions at the Byron Nelson include Jason Day, Billy Horschel, Sergio Garcia, and Keegan Bradley.
The tournament is named after Texas golfing legend Byron Nelson, a five-time major winner who won the inaugural trophy in 1944.
