Pendrith, eyeing 1st Tour win, atop Byron Nelson

Pendrith, eyeing 1st Tour win, atop Byron Nelson

Canadian Adam Pendrith, buoyed by his recent runner-up finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, is poised to contend for his maiden PGA Tour victory at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson.

Pendrith has shown remarkable form this season, consistently finishing in the Top 30. His ability to drive the ball long and straight, coupled with his deft touch around the greens, makes him a formidable threat at TPC Louisiana.

While the tournament features a star-studded field, including Jon Rahm, Scottie Scheffler, and Justin Thomas, Pendrith’s pre-tournament odds have him in contention for the title.

If he can maintain his recent form and capitalize on his opportunities, Pendrith has the potential to upset the established order and etch his name in the history books with his first PGA Tour triumph.

The fan, identified as John Attenweiler Sr., said he was “doing great” after being hit by the ball. “All good. $20, a ball and a welt. Can’t beat that,” Attenweiler told reporters.
