Fresh off a Walker Cup triumph, a trio of U.S. players competed individually in the opening round of the AT&T Byron Nelson.
Cole Hammer, Pierceson Coody and Tyler Strafaci are in the field this week at TPC Craig Ranch. Hammer and Coody, a pair of Texas Longhorn teammates, are getting ready for NCAA regionals, while Strafaci, a former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket, is making his professional debut.
The three helped the U.S. to its third consecutive Walker Cup victory last week at Seminole Golf Club in South Florida. Thursday outside of Dallas, Texas, the course, the setup and reception were all very different.
