Spaun has been competing for quite a few years now and has four Top 3 finishes under his belt. He’s been chasing the elusive victory for a long time, and there’s a good chance that he can do it at AT&T Byron Nelson this week.

J.J. Spaun made nine birdies and nine pars in Round 1. He enjoyed a bogey-free day at TPC Craig Ranch and made 83.33% greens in regulation. The L.A. native is extremely satisfied with how the layout has been spread to challenge the golfers.
“Yeah, there are some long holes, but you just kind of swing away, and if you can get a close one on those ones and pour it in, great. But all the par-5s are reachable, at least today for me, which says they’re pretty short,” Spaun told the reporters.
