It’s the final week before the season’s first major championship as the PGA TOUR heads to TPC San Antonio for the Valero Texas Open. Rory McIlroy returns to make his third start of this event’s TPC San Antonio era; he finished runner-up in 2013 and missed the cut in 2022. He arrives here with 21 consecutive made cuts worldwide. Jordan Spieth plays in his home state this week. He finished runner-up here in 2015 and claimed victory in 2021. Missing the cut in his last two starts on TOUR, the three-time major winner is also looking to heat up before arriving in Augusta next week for the Masters Tournament. Canadian Corey Connors returns to defend his title this week. He looks to become the first back-to-back winner at the Valero Texas Open since Zach Johnson in 2008-09. He’s made five cuts out of five here and claimed victory in 2019 as well as last year’s success. Others to look out for are Collin Morikawa, Max Homa, Hideki Matsuyama and Matt Fitzpatrick.

The green is actually 43 Paces long our trackman technology is presented by Titus the number one ball in golf wow yeah that was going to make for an epic Titleist leader board read 2011 yard par three yeah hole located nine Paces on six off the left really high

Ball flight here working it right to left oh what a shot beautiful shot all right let’s get uh let’s get the in one watch going interesting point that I want to ask him about coming up as we watch McCarthy on the tf16 that little familiar toe tap at the

Top of the down SW down swing and this could be really really good keep going gosh I thought that was going to get there for a second too Lisa all right back over at seven wion fer looking out to the right hoping it pulls back left stay there we go yeah

Pretty should take a pretty good bounce and this turning right at the flag stick oh this could be really nice I think Max hom has found something at this point he he’d take it absolutely he’d take a birdie right here but at the same time he be thinking if I can just

Cozy come on Justin low when it’s your day it’s your day call Absolutely such a cool backdrop on this hole four over par on the day going straight at [Applause] it having a decent day on the greens today see if he could roll one more and oh and a fist pump for Max on the last hole now David lipsky at 16 the Texas

Flags are now wrapped around the pole that could be good he likes it wow really good shot from David lipsky 35-year-old Tyson Alexander in his second year on tour and a long birdie there at the 18th one over on his round today that is a very good shot to be

Able to get that one to Stu down win and AE batia who’s been playing some really good golf as of late from just over a 100 yards with his second and it delivery in a nice one but Tia should be a birdie for Him he’s thinking about it he’s thinking he got a chance if he gets a gust gets about 10 seconds it’s probably right around that number now oh yeah goodness patience pays off moment ago this is Tyler Duncan you talked about this green being difficult to hit here’s Duncan after missing it with a

Second but that’s how you get out of trouble that’s great me Smith likes to fade the ball so you think start this left side of the green this really good looking shot here this has got a chance there we go there we go that’s how you told us all we

Should play this whole rocket right there this whole location over a ridge some of the players landing on the down slope just short of it right about there but plenty of spin with that wind in their face got to watch out for that flyer like we saw with

Tommy how did he do that he’s pretty good at gol he’s pretty good 17 a moment ago York see what he can do with a short iron and another one just they’re all dancing around the flag here today to two lonto Griffin with his third at this

Par five from 93 yds tricky little front right ho location that wind is in off the right here oh yeah onto okay oh sure why would man the delay for a little bit more drama remember Sam Stevens run last year he finished second all kinds of trouble though here

At this latest visit to 18 but that can be taken care of just like that as he makes a turn and Dan that sprinkler head was in his way he probably would have ended up putting that if he could but chipped it over the sprinker head and no

Problem for Sam Stevens KF graduates he was in the top 30 on the points list on the corn fery tour last season also pretty good looking shot here how about this one this got a chance oh baby the best of the day Big right to lter here coming off the back side of that Ridge and there you go from long distance about that that is so good in his home state one of those 23 Texans cognizant classic winner Austin e root in his second shot what an impressive win that was at PJ National as ecro broke through it was

A lot of it because of his iron game his iron game was so good that Week there you look at that aiming R of it fights it down nicely solid contact sounded good Billy Ray man that was such good action too it was wide on the way back and you saw how far left he finished Lucas Glover birdie 12 13 14 three straight heading to the 15th here

But he’s bunkered caught the perfect lie in there o did you say perfect no oh four in a row for Lucas yeah raise your hand if you’re sure look at that three straight bogeys to begin three straight birdies currently the par three and Texas’s own Jordan Spe that’s high up in the Air how about [Applause] in that’s reverberating around the Lone Star [Applause] State so from plus four to plus two and with a little momentum in the final two holes here come on Dan no way I’m just saying smiley I’m I’m just saying oh come on oh you can’t in there Serious the magic of what we know is on tape Kevin stman has now gone birdie eagle let it do what it’s supposed to do there we go just short a pin High one skip stop there we go lovely world Class was tracking too Club twirl and everything he loved it as soon as he h another highlight Duncan with his second at this par 518th has been that weight that we talked about part of the reason guys waiting to still for it two and downwind makes it hard to hold this

Green oh this looks pretty good uh pretty good oh my goodness how good was that shot but you saw the left side of the Fairway gave him such a good angle Mo this hole let the slope work it back to the hole oh and that’s so good we’re

Just right at it how about a nine under 63 for AE batia 63 no bogey on the card missed only two greens all day long but Justin allow a good round as well yeah really good round this morning looking to come out tomorrow afternoon and do the same
