Another frustrating week after watching Martin Kaymer, who I had tipped up the previous week, turn in a fine display to win The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass.
The PGA Tour returns to Texas this week for the HP Byron Nelson at TPC Four Seasons in Irving. Focusing on long, solid drivers and decent putters on this shortish Par 70 track.

- Twice finished 2nd already this season and T7 in Houston a few weeks ago
Freddie JACOBSON 2pts @ 80
