The 2022 AT&t Byron Nelson was one of the most exciting tournaments of the 2021-22 season. All the golfers, who advanced to the final two rounds, finished the event with under-par scores.
Spieth was no different. He made an overall score of 25-under and finished in the second position. The golfer had almost won the championship, if not for his 3-putts from 7-ft on the 10th hole.
