MCKINNEY – Sebastian Munoz entered this week’s AT&T Byron Nelson as the co-holder of the “best round of the PGA Tour this season” title, thanks to his 10-underneath spherical of 60 at the RSM Vintage in November.

Right after Thursday’s history-breaking opening round at TPC Craig Ranch, he no lengthier has to share that title.

Munoz, a University of North Texas graduate and former Convention United states of america Championship match winner, shot a 12-below round of 60 early on Thursday. The spherical gained him the TPC Craig Ranch study course record, tied him for the Nelson match document and set him by itself at the top for the finest round of the 2021-22 PGA Tour year.

“It’s a great sensation whenever every little thing is clicking, hitting the tee shots, ball is coming out in the window that you imagined, the putts,” Munoz stated. “When all the things is heading, it’s just continue to be out of the way and just sort of let it occur.”

The Colombian-born Munoz received off to a good start on Thursday early morning, but the spherical wasn’t anything resembling a record-breaking one particular in the early levels. Soon after a bogey at No. 8 thanks to an errant tee shot that compelled him to acquire an unplayable, Munoz was just -2 by way of eight holes. But starting up at the par-5 9th with an eagle, Munoz completed his spherical with a extend of 10 holes where by he played -10, which includes a study course-file 28 on the back 9.

Munoz truly had a prospect to sign up for the elusive 59 club when he stepped to the tee box at No. 18. With an eagle, the 2019 Sanderson Farms Championship would have become just the 12th player in PGA Tour background

The 2020-21 offseason has begun and, well, nothing’s happened. That isn’t surprising though. The MLB offseason, much like the regular season, is a marathon rather than a sprint. The top free agents typically don’t sign until a few weeks into the winter, and the trade market can be slow to develop when so many free agents are still on the board.

Here are R.J. Anderson’s top 50 free agents. This isn’t a great free agent class, and because of that, teams could venture out into the trade market to address their needs. There are still plenty of rebuilding teams willing to trade their best players for prospects, and contenders making salary dump trades so they can spend elsewhere is possible as well.

With that in mind, here are MLB’s top 20 trade candidates heading into the offseason, ranked in order of how likely they are to be moved and how attractive they are to potential trade suitors.

After losing 110 games this season and 35 games during the shortened 60-game season a year ago, nothing can be off the table for the D-Backs, who don’t exactly seem poised for a quick turnaround in the rugged NL West. Marte is one of the most valuable trade commodities in the game given his play and affordable contract. This is as team friendly as it gets:

  • 2022: $8 million
  • 2023: $10 million club option ($1 million buyout)
  • 2024: $12 million club option ($1.5 million buyout)

That is at most $30 million for Marte’s age 28-30 seasons. An absolute steal. Also, Marte can play center field or second base, though hamstring trouble led the D-Backs to playing him more at second down the stretch.
