Valero Texas Open Round 3

Inclement weather dictated the narrative of the third round at the Valero Texas Open, with play officially suspended for the day due to severe storms. Before the sirens sounded at 12:51 p.m. local time, Robert MacIntyre (SCO) managed to extend his lead to 15-under-par through six holes, picking up a single birdie to stay in the driver's seat. However, the gap narrowed as Ludvig Åberg (SWE) ignited his round with three birdies in his first six holes, moving to 13-under-par and applying significant pressure on the Scotsman. The day’s most impressive move came from Matt Wallace (ENG), who was in the midst of a "scorching" round, sitting at 7-under-par for the day through 14 holes. Wallace’s surge moved him into a tie for third at 11-under-par total alongside Ryosuke Hisatsune. Additionally, Augusta-bound Marco Penge made a massive leap, going 6-under through 11 holes to reach the 10-under mark. With over 30 holes left for some players, the tournament is now set for a "marathon Sunday" finish to determine the final participant for next week’s Masters.
