LAST TIME: J.J. Spaun closed out his first PGA TOUR title with a final-round 69 and along
with donning the winner’s cowboy boots at the Valero Texas Open,

he also punched his first ticket to the Masters. Spaun, who started his final round with a
double bogey, added five birdies on his card over the remaining 17 holes to win by two

over Matt Kuchar and Matt Jones.

The win came in Spaun’s 147th PGA TOUR start. His previous best TOUR finish was a
runner-up at the 2018 RSM Classic.

Spaun finished at 13 under while Jones and Kuchar were at 11 under.

Adam Hadwin,
Beau Hossler,
Charles Howell II, and
Troy Merritt finished a shot further back and tied for fourth.

Big-hitting David Carey has given himself a chance of making another Major appearance in next week's Masters Tournament after he sensationally qualified for the $8.9 million Valero Texas Open in San Antonio last night.

The Dubliner (26), who brilliantly qualified for The 150th Open at St Andrews last year, fired a seven-under 65 at Fair Oaks Ranch to win the first of four spots on offer.

Carey had to shoot an eight-under 64 in the Pre-Qualifier at Cypresswood Golf Club last week just to make the Monday qualifier field.

He then went on to Fair Oaks and made eight birdies and a bogey in the final match on the course in a seven-under 65 to win by a shot from Peter Kuest (66) as Austen Truslow (67) and Peter Lansburgh (68) completed the top four.

"First @pgatour event, here I come," Carey said on social media. "Two wins from two events in Texas! Boom!"

He now joins veteran Pádraig Harrington (51) at TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course for this week's Valero Texas Open, where the winner will get the last qualifying spot for the Masters, a cheque for $1.6 million and a PGA Tour card.

Harrington is also chasing a spot at Augusta National against a field featuring the likes of Rickie Fowler, former Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama and last weekend's Corlaes Puntacana winner Matt Wallace.
