Robert MacIntyre clings to a two-shot advantage over Ludvig Åberg heading into Super Sunday at TPC San Antonio, with 36 holes remaining in one dramatic day.
Robert MacIntyre will face a stern test on Sunday at the Valero Texas Open as his lead has been trimmed from four shots to just two. The Scottish player sits at 15-under par, but Ludvig Åberg made significant inroads during the third round before inclement weather halted play Saturday.
Åberg, currently at 13-under, closed the gap considerably through six holes of Round 3 before rain forced officials to suspend action. The pair will resume play at 8:45 AM ET on Sunday, with both the remainder of Round 3 and the entire final round to be completed on one marathon day at TPC San Antonio.
Contenders Gather at Texas Open
Matt Wallace surged into a tie for third place at 12-under par, carding two eagles through 14 holes of Round 3. The Englishman’s aggressive play kept him firmly in contention as the field battled difficult weather conditions.
Tony Finau sits at 11-under in a tie for fifth place, maintaining his hunt for the final Masters invitation on offer to the winner. Ryo Hisatsune and Marco Penge are also at 11-under, with Penge particularly impressive through six consecutive birdies.
The pressure intensifies for all contenders with one of professional golf’s most coveted prizes within reach. The winner not only claims the trophy but also secures a place in next week’s Masters Tournament at Augusta National—a destination every professional golfer dreams of reaching.
Masters Berth on the Line
Jordan Spieth made a narrow cut at 2-under par, surviving the weekend. Across the entire field, 17 players are heading to Augusta National next week, underscoring the significance of this final tune-up event before golf’s first major championship.
The compressed 36-hole format on Super Sunday at TPC San Antonio will test every competitor’s physical and mental endurance. With weather having already disrupted the weekend, both MacIntyre and Åberg will need to navigate the remainder of Round 3 before tackling the fourth round in what promises to be an intense finale to the tournament.
