Key Points

- Caddie John Ellis, who has been with Wyndham Clark, has a deep history with golf, transitioning from a promising player to a coach and now a successful caddie with a recent win at Quail Hollow.
- The AT&T Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch is expected to be a scoring fest with players needing to shoot mid-twenties under par to contend, and the course conditions, with patchwork around greens and fairways, might lead to a lift, clean, and place rule if the forecasted rain affects play.
