@PGATourBrunch Coverage on "Moving Day" at Valero Texas Open
Valero Texas Open Ready for Moving Day:
Cameron Tringale tied his career-long birdie streak and holds two-stroke lead over Jordan Spieth and Mike Wallace after 36 holes. Triangle made five consecutive birdies (Nos. 13-17), to tie the longest birdie streak of his PGA Tour career (fourth instance; most recent: R-4/2020 The RSM Classic).
Tringale is making his 297th start on the Tour since the start of the 2009 season, the most of any player without a win in that span.
Jordan Spieth (T-2) is in the top 10 after 36 holes for the fifth time in his last six stroke-play events on the PGA Tour.
Kevin Stadler (T-4) made the cut for the second time in his last 24 starts on Tour and is striving for his first Top-10 since the 2014 Masters Tournament.
Rickie Fowler’s bogey-free (68) was his first bogey-free score in his last 86 rounds.
A win at the Valero Texas Open is the final opportunity to earn a spot for next week’s Masters Tournament.
