Weekend Warriors – Texas Valero Open
The weekend
Notable missed cuts (-1 the line): Grayson Murray, Lucas Bjerregaard, Luke List, Billy Horschel, Joaquin Niemann, Austin Cook, Seamus Power, Daniel Berger, Sepp Straka, Ryan Palmer, Chris Kirk, Bud Cauley
Weather consideration: There’s a good chance of a delay over the weekend, as rain will form Friday night and stick around for most of Saturday (including the chance of storms), so the course will be playing very soft over the weekend. Sunday should also see scattered showers but there’s less of a chance of lightning so there may not be any delays.
Temperatures and wind should be about what golfers saw on Friday, although the gusts won’t be as high on the weekend as they were on Friday. Only real takeaway is a soft course should see the greens be more receptive than they’ve been and longer golfers have an advantage since the fairways won’t see much roll-out.
MDF consideration: Yes, unfortunately. That means being careful with players near the cut although you’ll get great ownership on them; this course can bite anyone quickly, so anyone at -3 or worse could possibly get MDF’ed.
