BYRON NELSON “Golf has never had a nicer champion.” — JACK NICKLAUS Byron Nelson’s golf achievements are well documented — 52 professional victories, five major championships, and an impressive year of 18 victories in 1945, highlighted by an unprecedented 11 wins in a row. What was even more impressive about Nelson was his reputation as a role model built upon character, integrity and faith. Nelson spent his life promoting the game of golf and the values that are instilled through it. He dedicated himself to mentoring young players as they pursued this competitive career, offering advice about playing golf and demonstrating good sportsmanship and humility. It’s this balance of life that is reflected in the Byron Nelson International Junior Golf Awards. “Mr. Nelson: Even a better man than he was a golfer.” — TOM WATSON Past Winners 2008 2014 2016 Dylan Frittelli, South Africa George Cunningham, USA Philip Barbaree, USA Luciano Garcia, Mexico Doug Ghim, USA Cooper Dossey, USA Cody Gribble, USA Matthew Perrine, USA Ryan Grider, USA Cory Whitsett, USA Scottie Scheffler, USA Davis Shore, USA Patrick Winther, Denmark Austen Truslow, USA 2017 2009 2015 Wilson Furr, USA Evan Beck, USA Sam Burns, USA Noah Goodwin, USA Emiliano Grillo, Argentina Austin Connelly, USA Cole Hammer, USA Brinson Paolini, USA Brad Dalke, USA Eugene Hong, USA Cameron Peck, USA Davis Riley, USA 2010 Yaroslav Merkulov, USA Jordan Spieth, USA Bobby Wyatt, USA 2011 Michael Johnson, USA Denny McCarthy, USA Justin Thomas, USA 2012 Wyndham Clark, USA Ricky Kato, Australia Matt NeSmith, USA Cody Proveaux, USA 2013 Viraat Badhwar, Austrailia Tianlang Guan, China Jim Liu, USA Stratton Nolen, USA Robby Shelton, USA attbyronnelson.org/juniorawards +011 214 943 9700.
