Valero Texas Open - 54 Holes Summary

Live from the Valero Texas Open --- Ben Curtis holds on to the lead after 54 holes with a score of -9.  Matt Every, who shot a course record 63 in the opening round is 3 back, and John Huh, Seung-Yul Noh, and Charlie Wi sit at -4.

From PGA TOUR Media:  The third round is now in the books on what was an incredibly difficult day of scoring in which TPC San Antonio played well over par. Ben Curtis started the day with a two-shot lead, shot a 1-over 73 and now leads by three. That’s about as good an example as you’ll find when it comes to showing how tough a course played.

When asked how he felt being in this position going into the final round (shooting +1, but still having a 3 shot lead), Curtis chuckled "It's better than being 3 down."

With all the excitement of watching paint dry, we scribes scurried back to our laptops to get the last remaining words down before calling it a night.

This evening, there is a Valero Texas Open tradition -- a free concert.  Robert Earl Keen and Wade Bowen will take to the stage momentarily, however this writer will leave that to "young folk". 

After a day of being more "PC" than ever before (that story will come out next week -- stay tuned), a couple of cold Shiner Bock at home on the back porch sounds so inviting right now.
