Kyle Wilshire was playing golf in Shawnee, Oklahoma, last week on the All Pro Tour, where he finished T-2 and was rewarded with a check for $8,000. Now he finds himself near the top of the leaderboard on the PGA Tour after his first round in the AT&T Byron Nelson.
Wilshire’s 7-under 65 was highlighted by a near ace at the 230-yard par-3 7th hole, which ricocheted off the flagstick to just more than 3 feet for an easy birdie.
Wilshire, who turned pro in 2014, is making just his third career start on the Tour, with the other two coming in the fall of 2021 and featuring a missed cut and a T-62.
