Overview

  • Wyndham Clark shot an 11‑under, bogey‑free 60 on Sunday to finish 30‑under and win the CJ Cup Byron Nelson by three shots.
  • The victory paid $1,854,000 from the tournament’s $10.3 million purse, according to Golf Channel payout figures.
  • Clark’s result produced a large rankings jump, moving him into the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking and sharply higher in the FedEx Cup standings.
  • Less than 24 hours after his win Clark withdrew from the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club, and Brooks Koepka also announced a week off, creating alternate entries for next week’s field.
  • Tournament scoring was driven by TPC Craig Ranch’s recent redesign, wet early‑week conditions and the PGA Tour’s preferred‑lies ruling, and Scottie Scheffler drew attention for a visible on‑course display of frustration during the final round.
