So now that the Byron Nelson is over, I’m not going home. Ohhhh no. I’m on the 2nd half of this big HOG World Tour leg, the Mesquite Amateur tournament in Mesquite, Nevada.

Today (Monday) is a prep day and day where the media types like myself, play a practice round at a one of the tournament courses. After that round we’ll be off to a demo day where we’ll be hitting clubs from a bunch of manufacturers in the 100 degree Nevada desert heat. I learned my lesson last week at the Byron, and I’ll be hydrated.

Greetings from 36,000 feet, somewhere between Dallas and Las Vegas. I have about two more hours in the air, then about a one hour drive to Mesquite, Nevada tonight for the next stop on this long leg of the HOG World Tour. More to come on that later. Time to reflect on my Sunday at the HP Byron Nelson Championship

Keegan Bradley Wins

Getting a 1st Tour win is huge, and getting one as a rookie is even bigger. The doors which a win open will have a great impact on the immediate future of the player, like playing in major championships. The financial relief of getting that win is big too. No need to worry about money for a while.

Congrats to Keegan for the gritty performance at the Byron Nelson. The conditions were extremely tough. The winds were very high and the course wasn’t giving up much in the way of red numbers. For a tour event to have a winning number as high as -3 starts to get up into US Open difficulty discussion.

I don’t have a lot of time to post a long blog about today’s action because I have to run to the DFW airport to catch a flight to Vegas. A quick congratulations to PGA Tour rookie Keegan Bradley on the win.

Keegan defeated Ryan Palmer on the first playoff hole (18) by making par. This is Keegan’s first win.

I’ll probably update or do a longer post which I’ll write on my two hour flight from Dallas to Vegas, but for now just check out the HOG HP Byron Nelson Championship gallery.

PGA Tour Rules Committee has to think of everything – Rules regarding HP logo floating in lake

There are some interesting notes here for players, officials and media here in the media center at the Byron Nelson Championship which I’ve been reading.

Pictured below is the floating HP logo right of the 11th hole. Believe it or not, there’s a provision in the Byron Nelson Championship to take into account if a ball comes to rest on or near this floating logo!

Players may not get free relief if their ball comes to rest on the HP logo!

“NOTE: Hole #11 – The floating logo in the water hazard is an integral part of the course and there is no relief under the TIO (temporary immovable obstructions) rule.”
