No Tiger. No problem.
Phil Mickelson won’t be at today’s opening round of the HD Byron Nelson Classic out in Las Colinas. Neither will Tiger Woods or past champs like Sergio Garcia or Adam Scott or, really, anybody you’ve ever heard of outside Vijay Singh and maybe defending champ Rory Sabbatini.
No worries.
There’s always The Pavilion, which has matriculated from a simple white refreshment tent into a sprawling eat-it-up, drink-it-down hook-up joint that annually turns the adjacent golf course into a sideshow.
When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
And, this year, The Nelson has Jordan Spieth. Who he?
He’s the 16-year-old golf wonderkid from our back yard. The Jesuit junior who this afternoon will make his first appearance in a PGA event. He’s the two-time state high school champ, the two-time Nelson Junior tournament champ and our one chance to have Dallas’ Tiger Woods.
I’ll follow him today to see if he can handle the pressure and hit it with the big boys. Next to Tony Romo teeing it up, is Spieth the biggest local draw out at the TPC?
Other than, of course, the frozen margaritas.
