Taylor Pendrith secured his first PGA Tour victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, making it a memorable day for him. Following closely behind, Ben Kohles and Alex Noren finished in second and third place, respectively, at TPC Craig Ranch. Pendrith’s win guarantees him spots in upcoming events such as the Wells Fargo Championship, Memorial Tournament, and Travelers Championship.
In addition to the top five players who accumulated the most points from the Corales Puntacana Championship, Zurich Classic, and Nelson, there were also several other notable performances. Billy Horschel and Kevin Tway both earned their spots in the Wells Fargo Championship through the Aon Swing 5 system. Chad Ramey narrowly missed out on the top 5, finishing in sixth place.
The Aon Next 10 category also saw some changes from the previous event. Shane Lowry moved into the top 10 after claiming victory at Zurich with Rory McIlroy. Other players like Ludvig Åberg and Matthieu Pavon also joined this category, alongside Justin Thomas. This system allows for a fair and competitive selection of players for upcoming tournaments.
