With the Masters looming, this week’s Valero Texas Open represents the final opportunity for PGA Tour players to punch their ticket to Augusta.
The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio tends to be one of the tougher tests on Tour, although over the past few years, between 17- and 20-under won the event. It’s a 7,435-yard par-72 track where, if we get some wind, the scoring tends to get much more difficult.Corey Conners, Andrew Landry, Charley Hoffman, Kevin Chappell, Brendan Steele and Jimmy Walker have all won here.
Rory McIlroy opens the top of the board. This should be a good course for him. He hasn’t played here since 2013, when he was second to Martin Laird. With his strength off the tee and decent form of late, he could take down this event without many of the top names to contend with. The defending champ, Jordan Spieth is next. He isn’t the ideal course fit, but he does scramble well enough to make up for the lack of prowess off the tee.
