The Byron Nelson is in danger of floating away, right down the Trinity River with the unholy amounts of rain the Dallas/Fort Worth area has received of late.

Brendon Todd noted Tuesday that the heavy water would certainly affect scores.

"You're going to see a hundred guys under par and you're probably to get some of the bombers up there near the top of the board," Todd said.

That should make for an exciting few days in Dallas.

Field strength: B-minus

I'm not going too get excited about the field or anything, but it's not terrible. It was even better until Jason Day and Ian Poulter were late scratches. 

Speaking of...

Story to watch: Poulter withdrew Tuesday night because of a "slight strain." Day did the same on Wednesday morning because of dizziness. Kevin Kisner was a casualty as well. Is that a result of the crazy rain washing out the course or would those guys have withdrawn anyway?

I lean toward the latter, which begs another question: Have we reached the period of the year where fatigue starts setting in and changing schedules?

With the US Open looming, it's something to keep an eye on.

Past winners

2014: Brendon Todd
2013: Sang-moon Bae
2012: Jason Dufner
2011: Keegan Bradley
2010: Jason Day

Pretty decent names for such a pretty averagely-fielded tournament. Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia, Vijay Singh, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have all also won this event.

Let's pick this year's version.

Expert picks 

PlayerPickAnalysis
Winner We haven't heard from Dustin Johnson in quite a while. His past three starts here have resulted in two top-7s and three top-20s. That's good. With his top competitors dropping by the wayside, it's hard to imagine he wouldn't be at least a little involved on the weekend. Odds: 11-1
Top 10 Who else but Jordan Spieth? Golden Child has eight top-10s in 14 starts this season. Odds: 9-2
Sleeper Morgan Hoffmann has only played this tournament twice but he's finished in the top 20 both times. He's not playing great golf but I don't mind the odds here. Odds: 50-1
