Pre-tournament Celebrity Showdown at the Valero Texas Open! On Friday, the second round of the preliminaries was completed at TPC San Antonio's AT&T Oaks Course. Former Open champion Brian Harman shot a sixty-six, six under par, for two consecutive days, with a total score of twelve under par, leading by four shots and独占ing the top spot on the 36-hole leaderboard. Harman started the day three shots behind but quickly made a birdie on the tenth hole and followed it up with four consecutive birdies between the seventeenth and second holes, putting in an impressive performance. In the end, he concluded the tournament with eight birdies and two bogeys for a sixty-six, achieving a total score of one hundred thirty-two, twelve under par, to take the lead in the second round. Harman secured his first victory at the John Deere Classic in 2014, a second victory at the Wells Fargo Championship in 2017, and clinched the title at The Open in 2023. He stated, "I've been in similar situations before, and it’s entirely possible. There will be a lot of players playing well when you're in the lead; we just need to take it one shot at a time, slowly."
American player Keith Mitchell made five birdies today without any bogeys, finishing with a par score of one hundred thirty-six, solidly in second place. He said, "I still have a chance, looking forward to getting closer to Brian. I'm happy to have made par on the ninth hole and keep my spot in the final group. Thankfully, I also played well yesterday; there are still two days left in the tournament."
Leading American player Sam Ryder shot a seventy-four, tying with English player Matt Wallace and Japanese player Ryo Hisatsune, all with a score of one hundred thirty-seven, seven under par, in a tie for third place.
