Alex Moon will play his second straight AT&T Byron Nelson Championship after leading Monday Qualifying with an impressive 7-under 65 at Lantana Golf Club. Moon, a Dallas native who has counted Jordan Spieth as a roommate, was given a sponsor invite last year, where he shot 77-69 to miss the cut. But this time around he needed to get to TPC Four Seasons on his own account and did so with an eight birdie, one bogey effort to win the qualifier by two shots. Ben Polland, Sean Kelly and former major winner Y.E. Yang survived a four for three sudden-death playoff to take the other three spots after shooting 5-under 67. Alex Gutesha was the unlucky loser. Yang, the 2009 PGA Championship winner, will now make his 180th PGA TOUR start this week. It will be his third this season, having played the Sony Open (T27) and the Puerto Rico Open (CUT). Most remembered for being the first to chase down Tiger Woods in a major, Yang looked no chance to make the field after going out in 1-over 37. But six back-nine birdies to come home in 30 gave him the chance to make his sixth start at the AT&T Byron Nelson. A T32 in 2010 remains his best result at TPC Four Seasons with his last start coming in 2013 (CUT). Polland, has played the last two PGA Championships as a club pro, and will now make his first non-major start on the PGA TOUR. He missed the cut at Whistling Straits and Baltusrol. Kelly is making his PGA TOUR debut having spent last season on the MacKenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada where his best result in nine starts was a T11. 2016-17 Monday qualifiers Qualifiers: 59 Made cut: 17 (28.8%) Top-25s: 4 (6.8%) Top-10s: 0 Best finish: T11, Keith Mitchell at Valspar Championship Wells Fargo Championship qualifiers T52.
