Aaron Wise Makes Winning Look Easy In First AT&T Byron Nelson At Trinity Forest
/
If you kept waiting for Aaron Wise to show signs of nerves you had a long day in the rain-delayed 2018 AT&T Byron Nelson Classic.
The former NCAA Individual and Team champion from Oregon posted a final round 65 to break the tournament record and build on a second place finish at the Wells Fargo Championship.
Turns out the biggest obstacle to the day was listening to his mom reel off the perks of a win and what other finishes might mean. From Will Gray's GolfChannel.com story:
“She was talking to me in the hotel about what a win could mean, what a second could mean, kind of taking me through all that,” Wise said. “I was like, I’ve got to calm down. I can’t just sit here. I said, ‘You’ve got to go.’ I kind of made her leave the room.”
Wise is only 21, something PGATour.com's Mike McAllister focused on in an excellent story from Saturday night heading into the finale.

More ShotLink breakdowns are to come, but the big news for fans of minimalism will take heart in Wise dismantling the course with ball-striking prowess.
Marc Leishman hit some groovy shots around the greens and several players posted incredible scores, but the highlights are ultimately all about Wise and that swing!
