Yellamaraju finishes T-14 at Valero Texas Open

Sudarshan Yellamaraju continued his fine run this week, finishing T-14 with a score of 10-under par (69-73-66-70) at the Valero Texas Open here.

Yellamaraju put together a bogey-free third round of 6-under 66, including six birdies despite rain interruptions and followed it up with a 2-under 70 final round to climb up from T-41 on the leaderboard when play was suspended on the third day to T-14 by the end of the week.

The final round included birdies on the 14th, 15th, fourth and sixth holes, and later two consecutive bogeys on the eighth and ninth holes to close the round, costing Yellamaraju miss out on his third straight top 10 finish.

All eyes were focused on Robert MacIntyre and Ludvig Aberg when play was suspended on the third day. The two looked to be in a dominant position with less than two rounds left to play.

However, it was a different story as JJ Spaun (69-69-66-67) finished the week at 17-under par after carding 6-under 66 for the third round followed by 5-under 67 to win the title by one shot as MacIntyre (66-64-72-70) finished the week in T-2 alongside Matt Wallace (71-69-64-68) and Michael Kim (72-65-66-69).
