With final-hole birdie, Hoffman wins Valero Texas Open
Heading into the final round of the Valero Texas Open, Charley Hoffman ranked 200th on the PGA Tour in fourth-round scoring. That didn't matter when it mattered most at TPC San Antonio, however, as he made a 9-foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win the tournament.
Hoffman finished at 12-under 276, beating Patrick Reed, one of his Sunday playing competitors by a stroke.
Chad Collins finished alone in third at 10 under par.
Ricky Barnes, the 54-hole leader seeking his first PGA Tour win in 222 career starts, shot 2-over 74 to finish in a tie for fourth at 9 under par, along with Kevin Chappell, Martin Piller and Billy Horschel.
For Reed, this is another tantalizing finish, his eighth top-10 effort on the year, including four of his last five starts. However, Reed has gone without a win since the 2015 Hyundai Tournament of Champions. The frustration may be mounting.
"I'm still first loser," Reed said. "I'm tired of finishing in second and top five and top 10. I need to close out tournaments and get Ws."
