Weather Delays Valero Texas Open, Robert MacIntyre Retains Two‑Shot Lead

Tournament Stalled by Storms

The third round of the 2026 Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio was halted at 12:51 p.m. ET as heavy rain and lightning swept the course. Officials suspended play for the day, announcing a Sunday morning restart at 7:45 a.m. CT.

Leader Holds Firm

Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre kept a two‑shot advantage, sitting at 15 under par after six holes of the incomplete round. He entered the pause with an 81‑yard birdie opportunity on the fifth and remains the front‑runner among 17 players still vying for a spot at the Masters.

Schedule Adjustments

Tournament director Todd Lewis said the PGA Tour expects to finish the remainder of round three and the final round on Sunday, compressing two days of play into a single morning and afternoon. Preferred‑lies rules, already in effect, will stay as the field adapts to the weather‑laden week.

Looking Ahead

With the Masters slated for early April, the outcome at San Antonio carries added weight. Players will need to navigate a tight timetable and lingering moisture on the greens before heading to Augusta.
