CJ Cup Byron Nelson Strategy & Key Shots | GOLFTEC on Golf Channel

Description

In this Golf Channel segment, a GOLFTEC coach breaks down key strategic elements of Hole 6 at TPC Craig Ranch ahead of the CJ Cup Byron nelson . The discussion focuses on how players approach scoring opportunities, manage risk off the tee, and position themselves for success on a course designed to reward smart decision-making.

  • TPC Craig Ranch offers several drivable par-4s during the Byron Nelson, creating intriguing strategic decisions for players throughout the week.
  • While many golfers might choose to lay up around 200 yards, this particular hole provides very little margin for error, as the fairway at that distance is barely wide enough to safely accommodate that play.
  • With only about 40 yards of usable space between the bunkers guarding the green, laying back offers no real advantage and can be just as demanding as an aggressive approach.
  • As a result, the optimal strategy is to hit driver off the tee, positioning the ball in a favorable spot and giving players their best chance to get up and down for birdie or save par.
