PGA Tour: Valero Texas Open

March 30, 2022 by PGA Tour Brunch

PGA Tour Brunch

Preview of the Valero Texas Open

SAN ANTONIO – Rory McIlroy is making his second start at the Valero Texas Open and his first since finishing runner-up at the event in 2013. McIlroy, making just his fifth start of the PGA Tour season, enters the week No. 26 in the FedEx Cup standings. Hideki Matsuyama, who will defend his title at next week’s Masters Tournament, made his tournament debut last year at the Texas Open a week before winning his first major championship title and finished T-30.

World No. 16 Abraham Ancer, winner of the 2021 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, is competing at his adopted hometown event for the fifth time, but first as a PGA Tour winner. His best result to date was a T-23 in 2021.

Richard Bland, competing on a sponsor exemption, is one of 121 players in the field who can qualify for the Masters with a win this week. Bland advanced to the Round of 16 of last week’s WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play where he was eliminated by Dustin Johnson. Bland would have qualified for the Masters Tournament if he had won that match, via the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Maybe #ESPN should use Ben Stiller on its #NFL pregame coverage. Then, the NFL tv ratings will dip to NBA level
