The Texas Open is one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the United States, and this year’s competition is proving to be a thrilling one. After three rounds of play, Patrick Rodgers is leading the field by one stroke.
Rodgers, who is from Avon, Indiana, has been playing golf since he was a young boy. He attended Stanford University, where he was a four-time All-American and won the 2011 Ben Hogan Award, given to the nation’s top collegiate golfer. After college, he turned professional and has since become one of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour.
This week at the Texas Open, Rodgers has been playing some of his best golf of the season. He opened with a 5-under-par 67 and followed it up with a 4-under-par 68 in round two. In round three, he shot a 3-under-par 69 to take the lead heading into the final round.
Rodgers is no stranger to success on the PGA Tour, having won two tournaments in his career. He is hoping to add a third win this week at the Texas Open. He will have to hold off some stiff competition, however, as several other players are within striking distance of the lead.
The final round of the Texas Open promises to be an exciting one, with Rodgers leading the way. He has shown that he can handle pressure situations in the past, and he will need to do so again if he wants to take home the trophy. It should be an exciting finish to an already thrilling tournament.
