Henrik Stenson had enough of that club. Let’s hope he didn’t need it for later and that he has a backup.

Ernie Els and his 3-putt adventure from about 2 feet on the course’s opening hole. Els said that he was rattled after hitting a bystander off the tee.

Ouch. #Els #TheOpen https://t.co/HMaU7ciUsr

When it comes to iron shafts it seems like True Temper has things under control.

More players at #TheOpen trust their game to True Temper than all other shaft companies combined. #TourTruth pic.twitter.com/YlgQGkG6mc

GolfWRX is on site this week at the Valero Texas Open.

The event has been around since 1922, making it one of the oldest on the PGA Tour calendar. Over the years, it’s been held at a variety of courses across the Lone Star State, but it’s found its home at TPC San Antonio in recent years. Some of the biggest names in golf have taken home the title here, including Arnold Palmer, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and Ben Crenshaw.

GolfWRX has its usual assortment of general galleries, WITBs and special pull-out albums. As always, we’ll continue to update the links below as more photos come in from TPC San Antonio.
