The Tour involves San Antonio for the Texas Valero Open which dates back to 1922.
The Texas Valero Open is held at the Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio which plays at 1,100 toes above sea degree. Combine that with the gusty winds inside the area, this could result in a few monster drives on some tailwind tee shots.
That wind also reeks havoc at the gamers. The 3rd hole automatically has certainly one of the most important deviations in score for any par-3 on Tour. It?S a completely shallow green in which the gamers should hit over water and if the tailwind is blowing tough sufficient, it is able to be impossible to get the ball to stop. It performs 213 yards from the returned tees, however frequently times the tournament officers circulate the tees as much as more or less one hundred fifty-one hundred sixty yards because the hole can play so not possible that it will greatly sluggish up the tempo of play.
The path is a Pete Dye layout which comes up this time of yr with Harbour Town closing week, TPC San Antonio this week, then TPC Louisiana the subsequent week and TPC Sawgrass arising 2 weeks after that.
I?Ve performed some Pete Dye links fashion course (sure, this isn?T a ?Genuine links? As it doesn?T have the sea nearby). Most significantly Kiawah Island and The Dye Course at PGA Village. They aren't exactly a laugh to play, particularly when the wind is howling. It can be nearly impossible to hit the ball to the green and I carry it about 275 yards on common. And then you may hit a few superb drives on difficult driving holes and grow to be with a goofy lie in the middle of the fairway.
Most gamers don?T like those capabilities both and that makes for a weaker discipline.
This route is typically about lengthy and quick tactics. Typically the top finishers pressure it nicely right here, too. But, there?S some good fortune involved because of the wind gusts.
