Ryder itself lasts only 21 times, shooting 63 to run Valero Texas Open

San Antonio – The Ryder its not sure that his neck would feel good enough to play on Thursday in Valero Texas open. He found a swing and was hard to miss the Putt on the way to 9-Malac 63, and a one-footage transported over Keith Mitchell on the final tournament in front of the masters.

Mitchell played Bogey in the morning for 64, highlighted with 3-wood with 286 meters that stopped rolling around 3 meters from the PIN for the eagle PIN in the tape.

The former open champion Brian Harman had 66.

Jordan Spieth, entertaining as always, was in a group on 67. Its circle, including drive well, 17. on hard stomachs built in about 4 inches behind their golf ball. He cleaned his contact and hit him at 12 feet and made a bird.

Ryder, who said this year in all nine tournaments, had to withdraw from Wednesday Pro-AM when he felt a glitter in the door base. He stayed in his room and rested all day, then appeared on the course for about three hours before time to see if he could swing.

He could. And he could let it go.

Ryder one – 11 of his last 12 holes were placed, from them seven for a bird, including the last three. He opened the 25th to the 16th, 12-foot at 17. And then hit the wedge on the foot on the closing hole in the TPC San Antonio.

“I just tried to feel like I could swing,” Ryder said. “I think it helped me staying in myself today. I was happy to play.”

Ryder would be among those who could go straight to masters next week if he won, something he still has to do on the PGA tour.

He was slightly surprised to see Mitchell at 64 from the morning.

“I realized that was what under a couple. He’s always usually pretty good,” he said. “I didn’t enter any intentions to try to be more aggressive or something, just tried to put one leg in front of the next and have a solid circle, hit a fairy tale and the more you guess.”

Mitchell is not in the masters, and it passed six years from his Lone PGA tour. This is the third time this year Mitchell opened with 65 or lower. It ends it was a problem.

“My game is trendy,” he said. .

As for that eagle, Mitchell says it was a combination of good swing and happiness.

“I realized that if I guessed it well, at least it could cover the front and then somehow get off the slope base,” Mitchell said. “That pin is hard, it’s hard, so it’s around green, so I got the ball to stop there, I wouldn’t call him an accident – that was there – but the fact that she had just finished being very happy.”

Harman went to 15 straight tournaments without the 10 best outputs from June, and he has only two best 10s from his open victory in Hoylake in 2023. Years. He is on the edge falls from the top 50 in the world.

“My good days were good enough to win and my bad days weren’t great,” Harman said. “You have to find a way for those days, and that is usually a strong part of my game, I think that, I think of it.”

Max Homa, in the meantime, is in danger that another cut to extend his fall. He announced he has disassembled with Caddy Joe GreinerOnce he left his coach to rock last fall.
