Top shots from Valero - Thursday Day 1

Recommended Posts

So with the afternoon groups of Day 1 well underway, and only 14 players currently under par (no one having finished their round under par at this point, I might add) - it'd be fair to say that it's been pretty tough out there - wind advisory and sustained 20-30mph gusts. There has been some pretty good use of the wind on occasion, and some great shots in general though... here are some of my favorites thus far...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...and, of course, there was this from Phil...

That wind is really blowing, and if I was Phil, I don't know how I would have stayed so passive.  I probably would have flipped out.

For that very reason, I have to back off my swing speed about 30 mph.
