It’s was a big week on the PGA Tour as it was at the Valero Texas Open. Everything, they say, is bigger in Texas, which was true about the stakes. This marked the last chance for someone to sneak into the Masters field as the winner, if not otherwise already in the tournament, would’ve qualified for the first major of the year at Augusta National.
But it was not to be as the reigning U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun won his third PGA Tour event and second Texas Open title. He shot a final-round 67 to end at 17-under-par total to top Matt Wallace, Michael Kim and Robert MacIntyre by a shot. He took home $1.764 million from the overall $9.8 million purse.
Nine of the top-20 players in the world were participating at TPC San Antonio, with World No. 4 Tommy Fleetwood the best. World No. 8 Collin Morikawa withdrew early in the week because of continued back issues. Russell Henley (No. 10) was the next highest ranked player. Spaun had dipped to 13th after starting the year at No. 6, but will move up heading into the first major championship of the year.
