SAN ANTONIO – Akshay Bhatia. Brian Harman. Robert MacIntyre.
The first two names are the past two winners of the Valero Texas Open . The latter is halfway to joining them in hoisting the trophy. What else do they all have in common?
They’re all lefties. Is TPC San Antonio friendly to southpaws? “I don't know.
Obviously people left-handed have done well in the past, but I'm not worried about that one bit,” MacIntyre said. “I just, whatever, come and warm up in the morning and get after it. ” MacIntyre has gotten after it to the tune of a 36-hole aggregate of 14-under par 130, following up his opening-round 66 with an 8-under 64, the low round of the tournament, on Friday.
