WYNDHAM'S HISTORIC WIN * Wyndham Clark captured the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with a historic final-round 60, shooting a 28 on the back nine to reach 30-under.

THE CHASERS * Wyndham Clark fired a 65 to tie Scheffler at 19-under, setting up a Sunday birdie fest with Stephan Jaeger, Tom Hoge, and Sungjae Im lurking, while hometown favorite Jordan Spieth collapsed with a disappointing 73. * Frank Nobilo praised Clark’s elite bunker save on the 12th ("See how he keeps his level"), which perfectly complemented his 143 mph ball speed eagle on the 8th. * Clark battled through a bizarre bloody nose caused by wiping a cut, shrugging off the distraction to say he loves the "heat" of a birdie shootout.
