The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 AT&T Byron Nelson

The Core and More: DFS Notes for the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship
Last week’s course-fit model in Mexico had a limited sample but it still matched up perfectly by week’s end. This week we head to Quail Hollow Club where we have decades of data to tell us how to play the course. The tweaks to the course over the years have inched it more and more […]
