Who will Connor Bryce play with for The CJ Byron Nelson at the TPC Craig Ranch? Field explored
Youngster Connor Bryce will be seen playing alongside Jordan Spieth, Adam Scott, and Jason Day. However, all eyes are likely to be on Kris Kim, the 16-year-old prodigy poised to make his debut.
Miles Russell will also be spotted at the CJ Byron Nelson. Jason Day will be the defending champion, who was winless last year.
