The temperature is on the low side, coupled with strong winds! Former British Open champion Brian Harman shot an even-par 72 at TPC San Antonio on April 5, finishing with a total score of twelve under par, three strokes ahead, firmly taking the lead in the Masters prelude, the Texas Open. At this golf course, players agree on the need to avoid oak trees, cedar trees, and cacti. Faced with numerous challenges, achieving a good result becomes particularly difficult, and maintaining stability becomes the key to survival. Harman had a tense day on the course today, with bogeys on the second and fourth holes, followed by nine consecutive holes at even par, finally making his first birdie on the fourteenth hole and collecting a second birdie on the seventeenth hole, concluding with an even-par 72, for a total score of twelve under par, at 204, maintaining his lead. "It really was a tough day," Harman said. "Getting here early in the morning, it was cold, very windy, and the ball positions were difficult; it was really not easy." Harman achieved his first victory at the John Deere Classic in 2014, won his second PGA Tour title at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2017, and claimed the British Open in 2023, looking forward to returning to the champions' list on Sunday.

American player Andrew Novak made a birdie on the second hole, finishing with a score of 69, featuring six birdies and three bogeys, for a total score of nine under par at 207, ranking second. Fellow American Tom Hoge captured four birdies with no bogeys, shooting a 68, finishing with a total score of eight under par, ranking third. Keith Mitchell shot a 73 today, with a total score of seven under par at 209, placing fourth. Finnish player Sami Valimaki shot even-par 70 for three consecutive days, Chad Ramey posted a 70 with two under par today, while Japanese player Ryu Hisatsune finished with a 73, all three finishing tied for fifth at six under par with a total score of 210.

According to the weather forecast for Sunday, the high temperature will rise, but the wind will pick up again, with gusts possibly reaching up to 32 miles per hour. When Harman heard the weather forecast, he said, "You can only do your best. I’m not sure how the scores will turn out; all you need to do is hit good shots and putt well. If you miss the greens, the scores will definitely fluctuate."
