Weather delays at the Valero Texas Open pushed Round 3 into Sunday, leaving Robert MacIntyre and Ludvig Åberg in a tense race and bettors eyeing live value.
The Valero Texas Open is headed for a chaotic finish after another weather interruption stopped play in Round 3, setting up a marathon Sunday at TPC San Antonio.
Tournament officials suspended Saturday’s action and announced the third round would resume Sunday morning, with leader Robert MacIntyre still in front but with Ludvig Åberg closing the gap.
That matters because the leaders still have a ton of golf left. MacIntyre began the day with a four-shot advantage, but Åberg trimmed that margin to two shots through six holes before the weather shut everything down.
If conditions cooperate on Sunday, the final group could be asked to complete 30 holes in one day, a brutal test just one week before the Masters.
The forecast gave tournament organizers hope that both the third and final rounds could be completed Sunday, though the threat of a Monday finish briefly remained in play.
The restart was scheduled for 8:45 a.m. ET, and the tournament later outlined split-tee final-round times once Round 3 wrapped up.
From a betting angle, the live board created some intriguing spots. The clearest value play centered on Chandler Phillips in a Round 3 three-ball against Chris Kirk and J.J. Spaun, with the thinking built around Phillips and Kirk essentially playing a back-nine head-to-head while Spaun sat a step behind.
PGA Tour betting analysis also highlighted Davis Thompson as a strong Top 10 candidate because of elite tee-to-green numbers through two and a half rounds.
So now the Texas Open has everything: weather drama, a two-man chase at the top, and a long Sunday that could reshape the leaderboard in a hurry.
