Editing Byron Nelson (section)

===Cut streak===
Nelson's record of 113 consecutive cuts made is second only to [[Tiger Woods]]' 142. The PGA Tour defines a "cut" as receiving a paycheck, even if an event has no cut ''per se''. In Nelson's era, only the top 20 in a tournament received a check. In reality, Nelson's "113 consecutive cuts made" are representative of his unequaled 113 consecutive top 20 tournament finishes. Almost half of those top 20s were during the weakened tour war years of 1944 & 1945. In fact, 26 of Nelson's 52 tour wins were during those two weakened tour years of 1944 & 1945. Before 1944 he had never won more than 4 events in any year.
