Wyndham Clark Goes LOW At TPC Craig Ranch + Debating The "Blades Brown" Path: College, Or Turn Pro?

Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme recap Wyndham Clark’s win at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson, where Clark closed with a final-round 60 to reach 30-under par and win by three over Si Woo Kim — despite TPC Craig Ranch’s much-discussed renovation. They break down why an unusual weather week in Dallas - with soft conditions and no wind - still kept the course vulnerable to low scoring.

They also dive deep into Wyndham’s resurgence after a difficult stretch, why his improved iron play could make him dangerous again this season, and the mental side of bouncing back after frustrating moments on TOUR.

Plus: Blades Brown earns Special Temporary Membership on the PGA TOUR, and Smylie and Charlie debate the modern path for elite young players — turning pro early vs. staying in college golf. The conversation expands into what life is actually like on mini tours, developmental tours, and the transition from college golf to professional golf.
