Taylor Pendrith shared about his playing experience at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson
Taylor Pendrith joined the press conference at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson after the fourth round to talk about his playing experience at the TPC Craig Ranch. His words read, via ASAP Sports:
“Yeah, doesn’t feel real yet still. All a blur the last hour. To hear that sounds amazing. And it’s been something that I’ve been working towards my whole career and to finally get it done feels unbelievable…I slept pretty good. I was a little disappointed that the Toronto Maple Leafs lost last night, so that was mostly on my mind. Yeah, slept good. Morning was good with my wife and son. You know, everything was pretty normal. I felt really calm all week. And all today I felt really calm, too, until the end where things got a little interesting.”
Pendrith also shared in the interview that he was struggling with a shoulder injury and tried fixing the pain amid the PGA Tour tournament. His battle through the pain to win the event made it more satisfying.
