LAS COLINAS, Texas – Former Texas A&M Aggie Case Cochran aced his way into the 2014 HP Byron Nelson

Once in the tournament, named after former golf great Lord Byron Nelson who passed away in 2006 at age 94, Cochran fired a two-day 8-over 148 (78-70) to miss the cut by eight strokes.
Cochran fired an 8-over 78 in his opening round that included one birdie, seven bogeys, and a double.
