8 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide VALERO TEXAS OPEN FACTS, FIGURES AND RECORDS

PROUD HERITAGE: The Valero Texas Open, first played in 1922, is the 3rd oldest PGA TOUR tournament. It’s only younger than the (1899) and (1904). If you include the U.S. Open (1895) managed by the USGA, and the PGA Champion- ship (1916) managed by the PGA of America, then the Valero Texas Open is the fifth oldest professional tournament in North America. The Valero Texas Open is the oldest Professional Golf Tour tournament to have been held in the same city its entire existence. Every tournament (86) has been played in San Antonio, Texas.

SITE: TPC San Antonio, AT&T Oaks Course. The AT&T Oaks course, adjacent to the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa, is in its sixth year of hosting the tournament and is the eighth local course to have hosted the event. Others include: Oak Hills Country Club (23), 1961-66, 1977-94; Brackenridge Park (21), 1922-26, 1929-40, 1950-55, 1957-59; La Cantera Resort Course (15) 1995-2009, Willow Springs (10), 1927-28, 1941-49; Woodlake Country Club (5), 1972-76; Fort Sam (4), 1950-51, 1956, 1960; Pecan Valley Golf Club (3), 1967, 1969-70.

PRIZE MONEY: $6.2 million ($1,116,000 to the winner). It ties as the most money ever offered at the Valero Texas Open. Last year, Steven Bowditch won the sixth million dollar winner’s check (Zach Johnson--2009, the first) in tournament history. The lowest purse was $2,500 ($600) in 1932. The $5,000 ($1,500) purse offered for the first tournament in 1922 was more than the U.S. Open at the time.

DATES: March 23-29 (Monday through Sunday). This is one of the earliest dates in the calendar year for the Valero Texas Open to be held since the early 1970s and late 1960s. The pre-Masters date is will draw a large group of top international and American players and those looking for a last chance to qualify for the . The Texas Open was first played in early February because of the mild South Texas winters and to break up the players’ train/car trips from Florida to . The tournament moved to late fall dates in 1972, but is back to its original spring date for the seventh time in 40 years and is now part of the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup Race.

TELEVISION: NBC (Network) will make its third telecast of the Valero Texas Open this year as the first stop of the Texas PGA Tour Swing. The Golf Channel handles the Thursday and Friday early round coverage. This is the 11th year for cable golf leader Golf Channel to broadcast parts of Valero Texas Open. CBS-TV had broadcast it for four years, 2009-2012. ESPN broadcast it for seven years from 1999-2006. ABC-TV has also televised selected tournaments in the past. The Golf Channel first televised the event in 1996-98.

DEFENDING CHAMPION: Steven Bowditch (69-67-68-76—280) recorded his first-ever PGA TOUR victory despite shooting a final round 76, the highest final round score by a winner since 1928. Bowditch, who overcame some previously publicized bouts with depression, hung on for a one-shot victory over Will MacKenzie and Daniel Summerhays. He beat a top field including top 10 finishes by PGA TOUR winners , , Zach Johnson and .

GOOD WHEN IT MATTERED: Australian native Steven Bowditch, who lives in North Texas, took a three-shot lead into the final round of the 2014 Valero Texas Open, then hung on for a one-shot victory. His final round 76, the highest in nearly 80 years by a winner, was enough to make him a first-time Tour winner, the first first-timer since 2011 and the third international victor in the last five years, second in a row.

GREAT SCOT: The very first Texas Open winner was from Dornoch, Scotland, Bob MacDonald, the 2013 champ, Martin Laird, is from Glasgow, but the two Scottish golfing greats span the 90-plus yearValero Texas Open history. MacDonald came to America in 1910 as a club professional at several elite clubs before winning the first Texas Open in 1922. Laird came to America in 2000 to attend Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado before turning professional in 2004.

FIRST TIMES A CHARM: had never been to San Antonio nor played in the Texas Open in any location before showing up for the 2012 Valero Texas Open at the AT&T Oaks Course. He arrived in time for a practice round on Tuesday, a pro-am round on Wednesday before rounds of 67-67 in the first two rounds of the 2013 tournament, good enough for a midway lead he never lost.

2.6 MILLION DOLLAR MAN: Dallas pro Justin Leonard became the firstValero Texas Open winner to ever top the million dollar mark in career Texas Open winnings with his double wins in 2000-2001 and surpassed the two million dollar mark with his win in 2007. In 2008, he added a T11th place and had a T5 in 2009. He stands alone at the top with $2,682,544.50 in Texas Open career win- nings. He has played in just 17 Texas Opens since turning pro in 1994, but has dominated the field. In his first Texas Open, Leonard made $15,500 in a tie for 15th, which was just enough to get his Tour card for the ’95 season. In 1995, he finished a solo second and the $118,800 prize money was enough to qualify him for the season-ending . He added a tie for 11th in ’96, worth $23,000, for a total of $157,300. His second place tie in 1998 was worth $149,600 and boosted him to $307,728, and his win in 2000 raised him to $775,728 in his Texas Open career and he went over the million dollar mark with his second straight victory combined with a T10 in 2004, the win in 2007, T11 in ’08 and T5 in 2009. Leonard is first in career average per event with an average of $157,796.35 per event for players with 10 or more Texas Opens. Charley Hoffman has made at $181,363 per event in nine events. Zach Johnson, who topped the $2 million dollar career earning list in 2014, has made $527,181 per event in just four starts.

2014 STILL TOUGH: A few years of seasoning has done little to soften the championship layout on the AT&T Oaks course at the TPC-SA layout. In 2014, Steven Bowditch became the second winner in four years to shoot a 280, 8-under-par, to capture the victory. There were only two scores in the 60s on a sunny and windy final round and Bowditch’s closing 76 was the highest winning score in nearly 80 years.

2011 TEXAS TOUGH: The 2011 tournament validated the move to the new par 72 TPC-SA layout, stretching to nearly 7,500 yards as a true, tough championship layout. The second round scoring average of 75.289 was the highest on the PGA TOUR since the 2008 British Open (75.877) and the highest for a non-major tournament since the 2008 Memorial (75.856). Steele's 72-hole score of 280, 8-under- par was the highest winning score in 77 years since recorded a 283 to defeat by a single stroke at Brackenridge Park in 1934. It was the eighth highest winning score in Texas Open history, with the first seven coming before '34.

2012 DOUBLE TOUGH: The 2012 Valero Texas Open remained a difficult test for the world's best players as an overall scoring average of 73.989 was second on the PGA TOUR in 2012 (behind the PGA Championship) and the highest of any non-major. 2012 winner Ben Curtis became the first TOUR player since Jim Furyk (2010 Tour Championship) to win and not break par on the weekend.

ONE HUH OF A COMEBACK: Rookie began his 2012 Valero Texas Open with an opening nine 44 and first round 77, 14 shots out of the lead. But since then, he made one bogey the rest of the tournament (No. 1 Sunday) and rallied to finish tied for second with rounds of 68-67-69.

10 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide AMATEUR WEEK: Dallas amateur Jordan Spieth finished T41 with a 292 total in the2012 Valero Texas Open, easily making the 36- hole cut in his first Texas Open appearance. While exact records are incomplete, Spieth's amateur finish is among the best since San Antonio's in 1954 and Dallas' Gus Moreland finished third in 1932. His first VTO top ten as a professional came with a 10th in 2014.

NA, NA RECORD: PGA TOUR veteran felt the wrath of the championship AT&T Oaks course in a record fashion in 2011 during Thursday's first round with a 16 on the par 4 9th hole. It was a single hole record for any hole in Texas Open history and the second highest single hole score in PGA TOUR history, behind only an 18 from at the 1998 Bay Hill Invitational.

Kevin Na's Record Texas Open High Score Stroke-by-Stroke. 16 on Par 4 9th hole, 2011.

Shots 1-2: Slices his tee shot right, into the woods. Na walks in and finds his ball, which is declared an unplayable lie. 3: He goes back to the tee and hits another shot which again goes right, into the woods. Na then hits a third, provisional tee shot, which goes left. He abandons the provisional ball after being unable to find it and opts to play his second tee shot on the right. 4-5: Stuck in the woods, he plays the ball only for it to hit a tree and rebound back onto him. He is forced to take a one shot penalty. 6: Ball unplayable where it lies. 7: Takes extra shot in bid to escape woods. Fails to progress. 8: Again, attempts to hit ball in woods, this time left-handed. Misses ball. 9: Hits ball in woods, once more left-handed. Ball advances. 10: Still in the woods, moves ball only a few inches. 11: Again, hits ball in woods and still does not get out of the trees. 12: Chips ball and advances to within inches of rough. 13: Successfully gets ball out of woods into the rough. 14: Plays from rough to the fringe. 15: Plays from fringe on to the green. 16: Makes putt from 5ft 10in.

FEEDING FRENZY: The 2003 Valero Texas Open remains, statistically, one of the greatest assaults on par ever on the PGA TOUR. Every round averaged in the 68 stroke range, giving the tournament a final average of 68.554, the only TOUR event below an average of 69 that year. Under calm, sunny conditions there were two scores of 61 (, Heath Slocum) tying the then-course record, five scores of 62 and nine 63s. In total, there were 291 scores below par 70.

FEEDING FIZZLE: The first round of the2010 Valero Texas Open, the first-ever held at the TPC San Antonio, did go in the record books as one of the toughest single rounds in Valero Texas Open history. The first day average of 73.705 was the second toughest opening day on the PGA TOUR that year, behind only the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. There were 10 scores in the 60s, 5 in the 80s (including back-to-back champion Zach Johnson) and 5 more at 79, three at 78.

FEEDING FIZZLE II: Toughened conditions at the Resort Course at La Cantera brought some of the highest scores to the 2006 Valero Texas Open. The score average was over 70 every day but Saturday, and the overall average of 70.43 was the highest in five years. The low score of 63 was only matched four times, including twice by winner .

TEXAS THREE-STEP: Adam Scott's victory in the 2010 Valero Texas Open appearance gave him three PGA TOUR victories in the Lone Star State, joining much esteemed company. At the time, Scott had won the HP Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, the Shell in Humble and the Texas Open. In 2014, he won the Colonial in Fort Worth allowing Scott to stand alone at the top of the Lone Star record books as the only player to win all four Texas PGA events. The other three-time Texas winners include (San Antonio, Fort Worth, Houston) and (Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio). Only Byron Nelson (Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio) has won Tour events in all four Texas cities, but no player had ever won all four current Texas PGA Tour events until Scott.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 11 ROOKIE RULES: Brendan Steele (2011) became the first rookie since Eric Axley (2006) to capture the Texas Open in his first PGA TOUR season, (2011). The other two to accomplish the feat were Terry Diehl (1974) and Ben Crenshaw (1973). Steele was the 16th first-time winner to accomplish that in Valero Texas Open history.

LET’S PLAY TWO: Because of a total Friday rainout, the third and fourth rounds of the 2010 Valero Texas Open were both played on Sunday at the new TPC-San Antonio Golf Course. After the 36-hole cut was made following Saturday's second round, a total of 63 golfers completed the final 36 holes on Sunday. Adam Scott trailed by three shots after the third round, but came back with a final round 67, for his first Texas Open victory. The last Monday finish at the Texas Open was 1985.

THAT'S A LOT OF DRINKS: Since 1983, there are 32 holes in one in competition at the Valero Texas Open, the last in 2013 by Greg Chalmers (Par 3 16th, AT&T Oaks course). The aces have come from 32 different players with only two at the TPC San Antonio layout.

STELLAR FIELD: The first playing of the2010 Valero Texas Open at the TPC San Antonio (Oaks) layout featured one of the greatest- ever stellar name fields in Texas Open history. Along with regular attending Texas standouts like Justin Leonard and Bob Estes, the field featured current superstars like Sergio Garcia, , and John Daly, all but Daly making their first appearance.

AUSSIE RULES: Adam Scott became the first Australian player to win theValero Texas Open since in 1964 and was also the first international champion of the storied event since (Zimbabwe) in 1992. He won it on the course designed by his boyhood idol Australian Greg Norman.

BACK TO BACK ZACH: Living up to the nickname he picked up with multiple wins on the Nationwide Tour, Zach Johnson became just the fourth consecutive winner in the 82-year history of the Valero Texas Open, in 2008-2009, the first since Justin Leonard at the beginning of the decade. Johnson’s third round 60 in '09 lifted him to the lead and the victory. Both Leonard and Johnson missed the cut in their bid to join as the only three-peat in Texas Open history.

IT’S A BIG COUNTRY: 2008 winner Zach Johnson broke out of his Georgia victory box to capture his first PGA TOUR win outside of the Peach State. Before his ‘08 victory in San Antonio, Johnson had won two PGA TOUR events in and the 2007 Masters Tournament in Augusta, along with shooting a course record 60 at the Tour Championship in Atlanta. Johnson was sneaking up on the state PGA TOUR victory record held by in (9) and Florida (8) plus in North Carolina (7). Not surprisingly, Johnson lives in Sea Island, Georgia.

LONG WAIT/FAST START TO VICTORY: waited a PGA TOUR record 15 years, six months to secure his third PGA TOUR victory, a total of 395 appearances to grab the 2005 Valero Texas Open victory before a host of family and friends at the La Cantera Resort Course. His opening round 62 was the lowest first round score by a winner in 50 years since Mike Souchak shot an opening 60 at Brackenridge Park in 1955, en-route to a then-PGA TOUR 72-hole scoring low. 2012 winner Ben Curtis waited six years before getting his San Antonio victory, his fourth overall.

LARGEST MARGIN/RALLIES: The largest margin of victory in tournament history belongs to Corey Pavin who won by eight shots in 1988. (1989), Mike Souchak (1955), Joe Kirkwood (1924) and Tommy Armour III (2003) won by seven shots. The largest comeback for a victory belongs to (1923) and Bruce Crampton (1964) who both rallied from six shots back to win. In 2009, rallied from eight shots back in the final round only to lose in a playoff to Zach Johnson. Martin Laird was four shots behind in 2013 before final round 63 to win.

PLAYOFFS: There have been 15 playoffs in Valero Texas Open history, six since 1991, and the last won by Zach Johnson in 2009. Before Justin Leonard’s third hole victory in 2007 over , no Valero Texas Open playoff had ever gone past the second extra hole.

TEXAS WINNERS: Among the many Texas natives/residents who have won this tournament are Byron Nelson (Fort Worth, 1940), (Fort Worth, 1946), Jack Burke, Jr. (Houston, 1952), Tony Holguin (San Antonio, 1953), Wesley Ellis (San Antonio, 1959),

While 2005 winner Robert Gamez is not from San Antonio, his father is and he has spent plenty of family time in the Alamo City. Seven of the last 15 winners have hailed from the Lone Star State and eight of the last 19 victors overall.

MULTIPLE WINNERS: Arnold Palmer 1960-62, Justin Leonard 2000-2001 & 2007 (3). All others two, Bill Mehlhorn, 1927-28; , 1939, 1951; Ben Crenshaw, 1973, 1986; , 1982, 1993; , 1995, 1999, Zach Johnson, 2008-09.

DOUBLE FIRST IMPRESSIONS: Ben Curtis's first-time win in 2012 along with Brendan Steele's rookie win in 2011 and Adam Scott's win in his firstValero Texas Open 2010 appearance only continued a recent trend of good first impressions. Zach Johnson's win in 2008 and second win in 2009, joined 2006 winner Eric Axley in winning in his first visit to La Cantera. Before that only (1978), Terry Diehl (1974) and Ben Crenshaw (1973) had won in their first Texas Open appearance. finished second in 2005 in his first-ever PGA TOUR tournament while Dallas’ , the U.S. Amateur champion, made the cut in 2007, in his PGA TOUR debut. In 2009, Johnson became the first golfer ever to win the Texas Open twice in his first two appearances.

CLOSE CALLS: finished second four times (1951-53 and 1960), but never won. was second three times (1947-48 and 1950), but never won. Byron Nelson (1934, 1944-45) and Ben Hogan (1940-42) were second three times, but also added one tournament victory each. (1964 & ’67) (1976-77), (1990-91) and Justin Leonard (1995 & 1998) were second twice, only Leonard eventually won.

RETURN VISITORS: Dutch Harrison, Ben Crenshaw and Jay Haas have all won two Valero Texas Open titles in two different decades.

HONOR ROLL: The past champions list at the Valero Texas Open easily could fill its own wing of the . Among the current and future Hall of Fame winners are Walter Hagen (1924), (1930), Byron Nelson (1940), Ben Hogan (1946), Sam Snead (1948, 1950), Jack Burke, Jr. (1952), (1956), Arnold Palmer (1960-62), Chi Chi Rodriguez (1967), Ben Crenshaw (1973, 1986), Lee Trevino (1980), (1987), Nick Price (1992) and (1998). Tiger Woods finished third (1996), Rory McIlroy was second (2013).

MAJOR WINNER: 2003 British Open Champion Ben Curtis continued a long tradition of major championship winners also capturing the prestigious Valero Texas Open PGA TOUR title in 2012. Three-time winner Justin Leonard was the 20th Texas Open champion to have also won a major championship with Masters champion Zach Johnson the 21st and Curtis the 22nd. Other golfers to have recently turned the double are Nick Price (British Open & PGA Championship), Mark O’Meara (Masters & British Open), Corey Pavin (U.S. Open) and Hal Sutton (PGA Championship). Johnson was the first Masters Champion to also win the Texas Open since Mark O’Meara won in San Antonio in 1990.

HIGH-LOW: The highest 72-hole winning score is 297 by Bill Mehlhorn in 1928. Mehlhorn also holds the record for the highest final-day winning score, 79 in the same year. Ron Streck has the mark for the lowest final-day winning score, 62 in 1978. Mike Souchak’s open- ing round 60 in 1955, Bart Bryant (60/3rd –2004) and Zach Johnson (60-3rd—2009) are the lowest ever by a winner. Brendan Steele 71 (2011) was the highest in 15 years. Tommy Armour III’s PGA TOUR record 254 in 2003 is the lowest 72-hole score. Al Brosch (1951) and Ted Kroll (1954) both shot 60 for the lowest score by a non-winner. in 2002, Bob Tway, Heath Slocum in 2003 and Jesper Parnevik in 2007, and Charlie Wi in 2008 all have the lowest La Cantera score (61) ever by a non-winner. Matt Every (63/2012) has the lowest TPC-San Antonio AT&T Oaks score by a non-winner.

YOUNG, LOW & LEFT: Not only was 2006 winner Eric Axley the first rookie to capture theValero Texas Open since Ben Crenshaw in his first PGA Tour start in 1973, and Terry Diehl in 1974, but was the first left-hander in nearly 50 years to capture the tournament title.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 13 FOUR DECADE MEN: Texas PGA TOUR veteran D.A. Weibring, Austin, Texas resident , Fort Worth's , Duffy Waldorf, and current Champions Tour star and Tommy Armour III share a unique distinction among all Texas Open golfers. They are the only players to have played at least twice in four different decades at the Valero Texas Open. Weibring started in 1978 and played in 2002, finishing tied for 25th for his best-ever check at $27,912. His best ever finish was a tie for fifth in 1982, earning him $9,500. Bryant, whose brother Bart won the 2004 Texas Open, started in 1978 and played his last San Antonio event in 2004 with a best finish of T5 in 1983. Kite started in 1973 and played his last tournament in 2005. Brooks and Mayfair were still active at 1989-2010 and Armour III 1982-2010. Bob Estes and Robert Gamez are still active with a two-start, four different decade streak chance.

QUARTER CENTURY MEN: Austin residents Tom Kite and Bob Estes, plus Fort Worth's Mark Brooks have joined San Antonio’s David Ogrin in playing in more Valero Texas Opens (25) than any current or former golfer in the 92-year history of the tournament. Despite his 25 appearances, Kite’s best finish is third place in 1977. He has won $209,463 in his Texas Open career. Ogrin, who won in 1996, has earned a total of $308,159. Brooks' best was T5 in 1990 with a career total of $140,290 Bob Estes was a winner in 1994 with more than a million for his quarter century. A total of 14 golfers have played in 20 or more Texas Opens. Former winner Estes has the longest active streak at 25 with a T7 in 2013.

MILITARY MIGHT: San Antonio is the home of several military bases and thousands of retired and active duty military members. It is also the site of the last PGA tournament to be played on a current military instillation. The 1960 Texas Open, won by Arnold Palmer, was played on the Fort Sam Houston 18-hole course.

HOT TICKET: The 1996 Texas Open boasted the largest attendance in the tournament’s 83-year history, topping more than 200,000 for the week. Most of the interest was due to Tiger Woods, the three-time U.S. Amateur champion who played in San Antonio in his first weeks as a professional, finishing third behind David Ogrin and Jay Haas.

MARK IT UP: 1998 Masters and British Open Champion Mark O’Meara, who now lives in Houston, had been one of the most consistent and regular performers at the San Antonio PGA stop. O’Meara has four top 10 finishes including a victory in 1990.

14 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide TPC SAN ANTONIO, AT&T OAKS COURSE

AT&T Oaks Course - Hole #1 - Par 4 - 454 yards - Handicap 7 This is a strong starting hole, playing slightly downhill into the prevailing wind. An accurate tee shot is required to help your round get started on the right note. Aim your drive down the left side of the fairway to give you a better angle into the green. A good drive will leave a long to medium iron for your second shot into a well guarded green. If you miss on your approach, missing right is the best shot into one of the many collection areas found on the course. Left is trouble for all, as a large and cavernous bunker awaits. The front bunker is not nearly as treacherous. The green is moderately undulating, but still putt with caution. A par is a great start to your round. AT&T Oaks Course - Hole #2 - Par 5 - 602 yards - Handicap 9 This is your introduction to the Par 5’s on the AT&T Oaks Course. Just as you found on the first hole, #2 is slightly downhill and into the prevailing wind. The bunkers are seemingly in the middle of the fairway, but don’t be afraid. Go ahead and use your driver. The bunker is only in play for the longest of hitters. This is a three shot hole, so accuracy is a premium on your second shot. Use your longest, straightest club with precision to ensure your third stroke will be played from the fairway, avoiding the fairway bunkers. The third shot calls for a short iron played into a well guarded double green. A word of caution. There is an 8,000 square ft. bunker hiding behind the green which awaits any slightly thin approach.

Pars on Hole #1 and Hole #2 will find you ahead of the game. AT&T Oaks Course - Hole #3 - Par 3 - 213 yards - Handicap 13 Welcome to the first par 3 on the AT&T Oaks. This 213 yard beauty is one of only two holes on the course which require carry over water. This hole is not for the faint of heart. A confident swing is required with a medium or long iron to carry the water and reach the green. The only miss for the player on this hole is long. It is a must for players to land their tee shot on the appropriate level of the green. Players who find themselves on the opposite side of the pin, will have to summon their best touch to avoid a three putt. Once again, par is a good score here. AT&T Oaks Course - Hole #4 - Par 4 - 481 yards - Handicap 1 Hole #4 on the AT&T Oaks Course is possibly the most difficult par 4 on the front 9. This hole was the first hole to be grassed during construction and has a stately and majestic feel about it. The tee shot requires power and precision as the fairway is one of the narrowest on the course. Finding the fairway is a must. A well struck tee shot leaves the player with a long iron or fairway wood second shot to a beautiful but devilish green. This green site is one of the most picturesque on the AT&T Oaks with old gnarly oak trees clearly evident around it, along with the artistic bunkers featuring a rock out cropping along the back edge. This green has significant movement in it and two putts for the player will be considered a success. Par on this hole is like a birdie. AT&T Oaks Course - Hole #5 - Par 4 - 342 yards - Handicap 15 Time to take a break. After the demanding first four holes, we turn to the shortest par 4 on the AT&T Oaks Course. Playing downhill and downwind, this hole is only 342 yards from the back tees. The short hole provides a myriad of options for all players. Let the big dog eat and try to drive it on the green or play safely to the fairway with an iron. The short second shot must be played from the fairway in order to hold the subtle but challenging green. While the green looks flat, don’t be fooled. It slopes from front to back allowing only crisply struck shots to stop quickly. A good chance for birdie for all players. AT&T Oaks Course - Hole #6 - Par 4 - 403 yards - Handicap 11 As players walk up to the 6th tee, they face one of the more beautiful tee shots on the AT&T Oaks Course with signature oak trees framing both sides. From the back tee the player must carry over almost 200 yards of native area to find the fairway. The best tee shots will finish on the right side of the fairway leaving the player with the optimal angle into a difficult green. The green setting is spectacular with majestic oaks as well as the JW Marriott serving as a backdrop. This second shot is played into a green which is well protected on the left with a large bunker and roll-offs to the right. Be cautious for back hole locations because going long leads to almost certain bogey. It is only 403 yards, but dynamite comes in small packages. AT&T Oaks Course - Hole #7 - Par 3 - 207 yards - Handicap 17 The second Par 3 of the day plays 207 yards, slightly uphill with the wind coming from the right. The 7th green is the larger portion of the double green the player encountered while playing the 2nd hole. The monstrous 8,000 sq. ft. bunker, which was hidden from the player on the 2nd hole, is clearly evident from the tee. A high tee shot with a soft landing is called for in order to hold this long, narrow green. Par is always a good score, but especially here.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 15 Hole #8 AT&T Oaks – 604 yards – Par 5 – Handicap 5 The second Par 5 on the front nine is the exact opposite of its neighboring Par 5 Hole #2. This hole plays uphill and downwind, stretch- ing more than 600 yards in length from the back tees. Try to avoid the left side off the tee and the beautiful specimen Oak that was transplanted to this hole from the 14th. A good tee shot will find the player at the crest of the hill. The second shot can be anything from a mid-iron to a fairway wood, depending on your preferred approach shot. It is vital the player’s second shot ends up in the fairway, allowing for a controlled approach to this split level, heavily contoured and well protected green. Finding the right level on the green is important to ensure you don’t spend too much time putting around. Hole #9 AT&T Oaks – 474 yards – Par 4 – Handicap 3 This is the only hole on the AT&T Oaks Course without a bunker. This straightaway par 4 requires both accuracy and brawn off the tee. The key to this hole is finding the green with your second shot. While the player faces no bunkers guarding the green, the green is long, narrow, and protected by sharp fall offs on all sides. This is one of the deepest greens on the course, so select the club for your approach carefully. Once you find the green, your job isn’t finished. While seemingly flat, the green has a distinct back to front slope. If your putt is aimed towards downtown San Antonio, it is a fast one! Hole #10 AT&T Oaks – 447 yards – Par 4 – Handicap 4 The back nine begins with a beautiful, downhill Par 4 measur- ing nearly 450 yards. As with many holes on this golf course, the tee shot must find the fairway, preferably down the left side. A well struck tee shot leaves a player 140 to 160 yards into an elevated green that is well protected by deep bunkers on all sides. Since this hole typically plays into the wind, a player’s second shot must be solidly struck to find the safety of the putting surface. Players must avoid a short right miss which will leave a difficult pitch for the player. Make a par on this one and you are ahead of the game. Hole #11 AT&T Oaks – 405 yards – Par 4 – Handicap 12 The eleventh is one of the most striking holes on the AT&T Oaks Course. Players face a decision off the tee, to challenge the cross bun- ker which requires a 220 yard carry from the back tee or play safely laying up short of the bunker. This hole rewards heroism because a great tee shot leaves only a short pitch to the green. A short drive on the right side means carrying a deep greenside bunker on the approach. Once on the green, the player’s work is not done. The green features some interesting pitch and roll to catch your attention. The player may be rewarded with a birdie for playing aggressively. Hole #12 AT&T Oaks – 410 yards – Par 4 – Handicap 8 The 12th hole is short, but dangerous. The player may choose any club off the tee. The key is being straight and in the fairway. Playing from the rough will almost assure the player a bogey. The second shot will only be a short iron but is played uphill and downwind to an elevated green protected by a set of enormous twin bunkers which are the deepest on the golf course. The green, while quite large is segregated into several levels which forces the player to have precise control with the second shot. Believe it or not the best miss on this hole is long, leaving the player a simple chip back. Miss it short, right or left, and you will be busy. It's only 410 from the back tee, but 4 is a great score. Hole #13 AT&T Oaks – 241 yards – Par 3 – Handicap 14 The first par 3 on the back 9 is also the longest on the course, measuring over 240 yds from the back tee. From the tee you can see downtown SA and the best play is to aim at the Hemisphere Tower and a right to left shot will find the center of the green. This green is one of the largest on the course and if you find it with your tee shot, you’ll be rewarded with an opportunity for a makable putt. Hole #14 AT&T Oaks – 567 yards – Par 5 – Handicap 10 At 575 yards, this is the shortest par 5 on the golf course and it gives you a chance for birdie. The fairway is relatively wide compared to others on the course and stronger players have a chance to reach the green in 2. A simple lay-up leaves players with a short pitch to the green. Make sure you favor the left side on your lay up since finding the bunker on the right will lead to almost certain bogey. The player who navigates the first 2 shots properly has a great opportunity for birdie.

16 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide Hole #15 AT&T Oaks – 464 yards – Par 4 – Handicap 2 The 15th hole begins the fantastic finish on the AT&T Oaks course. Much like many other holes on the course, finding the fairway is a must. Avoid the fairway bunker on the right off the tee and you should have a mid to short iron into the green. This smallish green is protected by some of the most artistically designed bunkers on the course. The cross bunker some 40 yards short of the green makes the green appear closer than it actually is. If you can find this green in 2, your putt should be near the hole. Make par here and you have taken your first step towards a fantastic finish.

Hole #16 AT&T Oaks – 183 yards – Par 3 – Handicap 18 Arguably and soon to be known as one of the most unique par 3’s in golf, the short 16th hole features a creative green defined by beautiful bunkers on both sides and the unique feature of a bunker in the center which divides the green into 3 smaller targets. An assortment of teeing areas offer the player, not only different yardages, but different angles into the green. Put it on the right spot of green and birdie or par is almost a certainty. Put it on the wrong side of the bunker and anything goes.

Hole #17 AT&T Oaks – 347 yards – Par 4 – Handicap 16 Birdie time. The 17th hole is a risk reward opportunity for players. Aggressive players may have the opportunity to try and drive the green. The fairway is the widest and most generous on the golf course. For the player to have the best approach into the green, he must find the upper portion of the fairway which is protected by a beautiful and dramatic bunker. Although the player can find room down the left side of the fairway, it leaves a much more difficult approach into the green. The main protection for this hole is the mas- sive bunkers and a green with significant movement. Birdies should be plentiful.

Hole #18 AT&T Oaks – 591 yards – Par 5 – Handicap 6 A fantastic final hole for our fantastic finish. The 18th hole is a long, uphill par 5. The tee shot should be shaped left to right in order to remain in a fairway sloping from right to left. After the tee shot, players should play up the right side, being cautious to avoid the creek which bisects the fairway and the spectacular bunkers on the right. The third shot will be played with a short iron uphill to a green which is segregated into 3 levels and is well protected by a hill country creek and three bunkers. Players may have visions of making a final birdie to win the Valero Texas Open on this one.

18 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide TOP PGA TOUR PLAYERS FLOCK TO AT&T OAKS COURSE AT VALERO TEXAS OPEN

Former President Ronald Reagan used to say people voted with their feet where they wanted to live and top PGA TOUR players continue to do the same at the Valero Texas Open, flocking to the TPC-San Antonio AT&T Oaks course, which has undergone some positive on- course changes for 2015 as part of its plan to improve as the new, long-term site of the Valero Texas Open. The changes, which took place under the supervision of architect Greg Norman and his team, include significant changes to four holes at the par 72 course. Hole 1 - The first row of trees were removed along the left side of the fairway and the rough moved several yards to the left and the fairway widened to the left as well. The right side native area was cleaned out last year and additional clearing and rock removal is on going. The right side of the green over the bunker was raised this past June. Hole 2 - The native grass, along with small shrubs and trees has been cleared out all the way to hole 14 which runs parallel to the right. The native areas between 2 and 8 have been cleared of small shrubs and trees and many of the loose rocks have been removed. Hole 10 - The green was completely re-contoured raising the front and right side. The run off to the back and left was filled and turned into rough. The run off to the right was changed to rough length height turf. The approach to the green was flattened, widened and the front right bunker was reduced by 50%. Hole 12 - The entire green was completely rebuilt removing the several severe contours that existed. The short grass run-off behind the green was eliminated and changed to rough. Other minor course clearing was performed on several other of the holes. The course debuted for public and member play in January 2010 and hosted its first Texas Open in May of that year won by Adam Scott while the 2012 event was won by veteran Ben Curtis, who praised the Greg Norman-Sergio Garcia design. "The greens were awesome, I like the idea of the way they were sloped. It's a great course. You just have to put the ball in the right position " 2011 winner Brendan Steele agreed it's a championship course meant to identify champions. "It fit my eye from the beginning because it was open and the way to get in trouble at TPC-San Antonio is to hit the ball way off line into the trees or natural areas," Steele said. "It a tough, fair layout that everybody was seeing for the first time." PGA Tour players who played the course in competition or in causal rounds have the same opinion, tough, but fair. "I like this course a lot. It's hard, but a good course," said who lives nearby and played dozens of pre-tournament practice rounds at the AT&T Oaks course, designed by Norman with input by player consultant Sergio Garcia. "I didn't know how the players would score on this course, because it's pretty tough, but I think most of them liked it because it was a good challenge," said San Antonio's , who finished tied for third in the first Texas Open at the North San Antonio layout in 2010. Indeed, players here for the first time agree the tough, but fair label will draw future top fields. “I like the course. I like tougher courses. I don’t like birdie fest and that’s what this used to be. This is a good, tough layout to get me ready for the U.S. Open,” Ernie Els said. "I think it's a nice, tough layout, usually the type I enjoy," said World Golf Hall of Fame member Vijay Singh. "The greens are pretty severe, but it's pretty good for a first-year course." The fact the Norman-Oaks layout hosted the world's best players less than six months after opening was not lost on former General Manager/Director of Golf Jimmy Terry.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 19 "We had a pretty active first year, opening the course in January, having a huge opening ceremony, hosting the PGA TOUR in May, gaining several national awards and favorable player comments." Scott, who won the first Texas Open held at TPC-San Antonio, said he can appreciate what his friend and idol Greg Norman went through to get the new course ready. "I think he did a good job with it. I mean it's tough around the greens, but I think the tournament did a good job with them, too, and didn't let them get too fast," Scott said. He said the character of the course is reflective of the Texas Hill Country scenery and his native Australian background. "Greg's greens are a lot like the sandbelt greens back at home, you know that design and that bunkering. I felt comfortable on them and I think a lot of other Aussie's did as well." After the PGA TOUR players finished, then the professional raters came in and the result was the same, the course was noted for its skill, variety and fairness. Golfweek Magazine named the TPC-San Antonio No. 9 of the Best New Courses You Could Play nationally in 2010. It received a Gold Medal award from in 2011 and later that fall, the Champions Tour AT&T Championship moved to the adjoining AT&T Canyons courses for its first event. “Not everyone is in love with the bunker that designer Greg Norman decided to carve into the middle of the 16th green, but the new home of the PGA TOUR’s Valero Texas Open still proved that it’s a worthy test in its 2010 debut," the Golfweek story read. Three-time Texas Open champion Justin Leonard called the new course an improvement for the long-time PGA TOUR event, the third oldest on the PGA TOUR and another positive step in gaining more popularity for the South Texas golfing tradition. The late March date will allow the players a different look as the Norman will have some more rough edges smoothed out in 2015.

20 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide BIRDIES FOR CHARITY® PROGRAM

Birdies for Charity® is a fundraising program designed in 1997, to give participating charities and schools the opportunity to generate contributions through the Valero Texas Open. Birdies for Charity is a no-cost program that gives 100% of the funds raised back to the participating organization. Funds are generated by soliciting pledges from individuals and corporations. Birdies for Charity is like a walk-a-thon, but instead of donating per mile, participants make a pledge for every birdie made at the Valero Texas Open. The 2014 Valero Texas Open had 1,784 birdies made, so a pledge of $0.01 yielded a donation of $17.84. Donors also have the ability to make a one-time donation and flexibility to pay in advance or to be billed after the tournament. Donations are accepted from anywhere around the world and are tax deductible.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 23 THE VALERO TEXAS OPEN TROPHY

The Valero Texas Open trophy was designed in 2002 by Malcolm DeMille, a cousin of legendary filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille and the son of renowned artist and sculptor Leslie B. DeMille. Malcolm DeMille, who has earned a following on the PGA TOUR for his unique trophy designs, has been sculpting professionally since the age of 21.

Golf San Antonio and Valero Energy Corporation commissioned DeMille to design a new trophy to celebrate their partnership and the rebirth of the “Texas Open” as the “Valero Texas Open.” The result is a trophy that celebrates Texas’ reputation for “bigness,” the strength of Valero as a company and title sponsor, and the tournament’s bright future.

Those elements are found in the materials DeMille utilized in his design. The trophy’s granite base provides a strong foundation, much the way Valero has provided a strong foundation for the tournament. Because of the granite base, the trophy is arguably one of the heaviest on the PGA TOUR, weighing in at a hefty 37 pounds, befitting of a tournament hosted in a state that takes prides in all things “big.”

The most dramatic feature is the “state of Texas” perched atop the granite base. DeMille selected thick, clear crystal for this feature, perhaps acknowledging the tournament’s fragile past, but also celebrating its rebirth and clear vision for a bright future.

The result is a trophy that is big, bold and … heavy. Hoisting the trophy is a challenge for the newly crowned champion, but he will find that the trophy is as strong as the memories he will take with him from his victory.

24 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide 93 GREAT THINGS ABOUT THE TEXAS OPEN 1922-2014 93 YEARS OF CELEBRATION AND FUN FACTS

1. The Texas Open was originally the idea of San Antonio sports columnist Jack O'Brien, who came up with the idea to lure golfers to South Texas for the warm winter weather and the new Brackenridge Park course. 2. The first Texas Open total purse $5,000 ($1,500 to the winner), was larger than the U.S. Open's purse at the time. 3. The first Texas Open held at Brackenridge Park was played on real grass greens, one of the few courses in Texas which didn't use oil or sand-based greens. 4. Tournament organizers passed the hat around the 18th green in the first Texas Open to help pay expenses and prize money. 5. U.S. Open and PGA Champion Walter Hagan's six-shot final day rally in the 1923 Texas Open was carried by large East Coast newspapers giving the new tournament tremendous national credibility. 6. Hagen is still tied for the largest final-day comeback in tournament history. 7. Hagen's $1,500 first place Texas Open check was the largest of his Hall of Fame career. 8. The first Texas Opens were played in early February to take advantage of the usually warm winter weather and break up train travel to other tournaments. 9. The 1928 Texas Open was the site for the incorporation of the bylaws of the Professional Touring Golfers' Association, the early forerunner of the PGA Tour. 10. San Antonio is the longest running professional tournament site in North America. Every tournament (83) has been held within the city limits of San Antonio, Texas, USA. 11. Willow Springs was the second public San Antonio course to host the Texas Open, starting in 1927. 12. Dallas’ Harry Cooper nearly became the first Texan to win the Texas Open, losing by a shot to Bill Mehlhorn in the 1928 event. 13. Mehlhorn’s winning score that year of 297 under cold, wet conditions was the highest in Texas Open history. 14. A final round 79 by Mehlhorn was the highest final day winning score in tournament history. 15. Mehlhorn became the first repeat winner in Texas Open history with a four-shot win over Masters Champion as the Texas Open returned to Brackenridge Park in 1929. His winning score of 277 was 20 shots lower than the previous year. 16. A 17-year-old Ben Hogan made his professional debut in the 1930 Texas Open, missed the 36-hole cut and promptly took the bus back to Fort Worth. 17. Denny Shute became the second future World Golf Hall of Fame member to win the Texas Open by three shots in 1930. 18. A total of 13 current members of the World Golf Hall of Fame have won the Texas Open. 19. Joe Kirkwood’s seven-shot win in 1924 was the second largest margin in Texas Open history. 20. Fort Worth’s Byron Nelson became the first Texas native to capture his homestate event in 1940. 21. Nelson's playoff victory over fellow Fort Worth caddy Ben Hogan in 1940 is considered one of the greatest tournaments of all time, only the third time they met in a playoff, with Nelson winning all three times. 22. Clarence Clark pulled off one of the biggest upsets in tournament history, defeating golf legend by a single shot in the 1932 tournament.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 25 23. Clark only won $600 for his victory, the lowest total in Texas Open history, due to the Great Depression. 24.

Texas Hall of Fame member Houston's Jimmy Demaret finished second three times in the Texas Open, but never captured a victory in his home state event. 32. All-time PGA TOUR wins leader Sam Snead captured his first Texas Open in 1948 by two shots over Demaret. 33. Fort Sam Houston became the first course other than Brackenridge and Willow Springs to help host the Texas Open in 1950. 34. Houston pro Jack Burke, Jr., helped redeem the family name by capturing the 1952 Texas Open after his father, Jack Burke, Sr., failed in nine previous efforts. 35. San Antonio's Tony Holguin became the tournament's first hometown winner with a one shot win over Doug Ford in 1953. 36. Ford's second place performance was the third straight time he had finished second, an unwanted near miss tournament record. 37. set one of the shortest held records in PGA TOUR history with a 72-hole PGA TOUR record of 259 to defeat in 1954. 38. Less than a year after Harper set the TOUR record for a 72-hole scoring record, former Duke University fullback Mike Souchak set a mark that would last for nearly a half century, 257 at Brackenridge with a first day temperature of 27 degrees. 39. Along with the PGA TOUR record 72-hole score, Mike Souchak also shot a first round 60 and a 27 on the first nine holes, both tournament records. 40. Souchak also uttered the quote of the year after the opening round. “I shot a 27 to start today, I’m 27 years old it, feels like 27 degrees out there.” He wore felt-lined gloves in the opening round. 41. World Golf Hall of Fame member Gene Littler captured his first Texas Open title in 1956. 42. Utah’s captured his one and only Texas Open in 1958, but more importantly found his way back to San Antonio many times to design local courses, The Dominion and Tapatio Springs. 43.

26 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide 46. Arnold Palmer won his first Texas Open, overcoming sub-freezing conditions which delayed play in 1960 with a two-shot victory over Doug Ford. 47. Ford’s second place finish to Palmer was his fourth in San Antonio, the most runner-up finishes for anybody at Texas Open history, and the most ever for a player without an ultimate victory. 48. Fort Sam Houston hosted its fourth and final Texas Open in 1960 , the last active duty military base to host a PGA TOUR event. 49. Arnold Palmer captured his second straight Texas Open as the tournament moved to Oak Hills Country Club for the first time in 1961. 50. Masters Champion Arnold Palmer became the first and so far only three-time winner and made his third-straight Texas Open win with a dramatic final round rally for a one-shot win over Houston’s . 51.

The Texas Open had its fourth and most serious stoppage in 1971, as money problems halted the 1971 tournament and cast the future of the tournament in serious doubt. 57. After a one-year absence, the Texas Open returned with another new site, Woodlake Country Club, and another new winner as downed Lee Trevino by two shots. 58. Another milestone which ensured the Texas Open for another decade and more was Austin’s Ben Crenshaw becoming the youngest winner in tournament history at age 21, in his first pro season in 1972. 59. Dallas’ Don January added another homestate win at the Texas Open with a final round 66 and another playoff win in 1975. Continuing a trend which goes back to the 1950s, the playoff did not go past the second extra hole. 60. Austin’s Tom Kite finished third in the 1977 Texas Open in its return to Oak Hills CC after nine years.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 29 BOWDITCH OVERCOMES LIFE’S CHALLENGES, GOLF OBSTACLES TO CLAIM 2014 VALERO TEXAS OPEN

Steven Bowditch’s final putt to win the 2014 Valero Texas Open traveled just over one foot, clinching his first-ever PGA TOUR victory. But the journey it took to get to that spot on the lush 18th green at the AT&T Oaks layout on the TPC San Antonio course, was a thou- sand times tougher than anything he ever encountered in the game.

Bowditch held on to a 54-hole, three-shot lead on a windy spring Sunday in San Antonio, firing a final-round 76, to score a one-shot victory over Daniel Summerhays and Will MacKenzie for a win and a day he often felt would never come.

“Your first win on the PGA TOUR is something you really will never forget,” Bowditch, 31, said in remembering his 280 final total which earned him the biggest win of his professional golf career and his biggest financial paycheck, reaffirming the goal he set when he left his native Australia and moved to North Texas to begin his U.S. pro career in 2006.

“Living in Texas and winning the Texas Open makes it only that much more special,” he added.

That his greatest golfing high and lowest personal low both came in the same state was not lost on Bowditch as Dallas was where, suffering from acute clinical depression, he tried unsuccessfully to end his life in 2006, only to be saved by a friend.

The fact that Bowditch often has told his own personal story to help and inspire others and has persevered and battled his own troubles, both on and off the course, all came together when he made his short par putt for his 2014 VTO victory.

“I don't think I'll ever overcome it (depression),” he said after the win. “You just deal with it on a day to day basis, learn about yourself and move on forward.”

He credited his wife Amanda, a local TV producer, for her unending support, “I wouldn’t be sitting here without her,” and thrilled his fellow Australian PGA TOUR players who hung around the 18th hole waiting to see if Bowditch could pull off his first PGA TOUR victory.

“I’m so happy for Steven, I actually caddied for him in a junior tournament once in Australia so I’ve known him for a very long time,” said John Senden, who lives near Bowditch, outside of Dallas. “He’s been through a lot and I’m proud to call him my mate.”

Bowditch certainly paved the way for his first PGA TOUR win in San Antonio as he was the only player in the world class field to shoot his first three rounds in the 60s. He opened with a Thursday 69, two shots behind first round leader Andrew Loupe’s 67.

In round two, Bowditch shot a 67 and surged to the top of the leaderboard, one shot better than and Loupe.

He increased his lead to three shots after Saturday’s third round with a solid 68, making him three shots better than multiple PGA TOUR winner Matt Kuchar and Loupe.

Coming into the tournament, Bowditch had struggled much of the year with only one top 20 finish, a T19 in the AT&T Pebble Beach Classic, and had five missed cuts or withdrawals before heading to San Antonio. He entered the week ranked 339th in the world and with only two top 10 finishes in eight years as a pro.

But perhaps it was a return to his adopted home state or his third trip to the TPC San Antonio for the historic tournament or most importantly, the struggles he has endured and overcome in his own life which allowed him to withstand the final round pressure.

With winds whipping out of the southeast at 15-25 mph and tough final round pin placements, only two players, and San Antonio’s Jimmy Walker shot final rounds in the 60s, with seven players at 77 or higher.

30 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide BOWDITCH OVERCOMES LIFE’S CHALLENGES, GOLF OBSTACLES TO CLAIM 2014 VALERO TEXAS OPEN

Bowditch hung to his lead during the tough conditions and with Loupe and Kuchar falling back, only Summerhays was left to chal- lenge him. When Summerhays finished a group before the leader and still was a shot behind, Bowditch knew he only needed to par the final hole, which his short putt accomplished.

“What meant the most to me was having the Australian guys congratulate me right there after the event,” he said. “I wasn’t expecting that to be honest, but then I started getting texts from my close friends. I was glad people who had stood by me for so long knew about the win.”

While the Valero Texas Open may have had more well-known winners and more dominant victors, it’s unlikely in its 90-year-plus history it’s had a more grateful champion than Bowditch.

“I can’t wait to go back to San Antonio,” he said of his pre-tournament plans. “I am going to take some time off and get prepared for the tournament. It will be quite an experience being the defending champion. I have never done it before and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Celebrating a week he often thought was never possible and almost never happened.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 31 AN INTERVIEW WITH STEVEN BOWDITCH

THE MODERATOR: I would like to welcome the winner of the 2014 Valero Texas Open, Steven Bowditch. Congratulations on your first PGA TOUR victory. Just a second ago he asked me, "How many days have I been in here now?" We're not sure, but you've spent a lot of time in the interview room this week. Yesterday you were asked how you were going to handle the nerves last night and today, and you admitted you didn't know. You found out, and it was good enough for a one shot victory today, so congratulations on the win. STEVEN BOWDITCH: Thank you. It was a tough couple of days. Yesterday I sort of felt like I played the same. My putter has been not very good at all this week in general, so it's always tough to -- you gotta chip it really close, you know, even -- you saw on the last hole there, I had a 3 footer and it just touched the hole. It was, you know, I'm thrilled and over the moon to get through it that way. The putter is probably the worst one with the nerves to try and deal with, I guess. That's really the first time I've really been putting average or bad, especially when leading in a golf tournament, so that was something new to me, and I don't know whether "exciting" is the right word, but it was fun.

Q. You seemed pretty emotional walking up the 18th fairway. Can you talk about what was going through your mind as you were making that walk with a 2 shot lead?

STEVEN BOWDITCH: I don't know whether emotional was the right word. There were still a lot of things that could happen. I wasn't sure standing on 18 whether Danny Summerhays made birdie or not so I didn't know whether I had a 1 or 2 shot lead. Then I knew Andrew was still at 6 and he hit a great drive down to there, I don't know what club, he must have fit a 4 or 5 iron in the bunker and there is still always that chance that that's going to go in. I wasn't looking ahead or looking back to the par, I guess, it was still -- I didn't feel like in my mind I had a big enough cushion to take it all in at the last. It was more I still had a job to do and still had a couple of shots to finish out. Q. How did you do it? I mean, you started off horribly and were wobbly -- STEVEN BOWDITCH: Thank you. You're right. (Chuckles.) Q. But you persevered for a guy who has not been in this position before, and battling nerves, playing with Kuchar, who's tons more experienced. How were you able to do it? STEVEN BOWDITCH: Not real sure, you know. I just -- I guess I look back on what I've done in the past with smaller tournaments and in Australia and Nationwide and Web.com events and I use those experiences to try and stay in the moment as best I could and every time I got out of check, you know, looking ahead to the Masters, and winning golf events and making my speeches before, you know, before it's finished. I had to really pull myself in check every time, and it happened a lot today. It was -- I was lucky enough I guess that the wind was up and it was hard to shoot a good score out there today for everyone. Not very often you shoot 76 and win a golf event. So I'm just thrilled that I had enough cushion, so to speak, but it was gone in three, I really didn't have a cushion anyway. But I'm thrilled. Q. Can you describe your emotions, once you knew you had won? And basically you didn't know until right at the end. Can you describe your emotions when it sunk in? STEVEN BOWDITCH: Not really, to be honest. I really haven't had time to reflect or think about what I just accomplished or what's up next, any of those things. To be honest, still feels like there is another day left; still feels like I haven't done it yet.

32 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide Q. Steven, your fight with depression is well documented. Can you put in perspective what this win means, overcoming that obstacle in your life? STEVEN BOWDITCH: I don't think I'll ever overcome it. You just deal with it on a day to day basis and learn, learn about yourself and move on forward. Q. Can you talk about Amanda and the role she's played, the support she's given you and the role that she has played in you overcoming that obstacle? STEVEN BOWDITCH: You know, Amanda is the love of my life, she is my wife and I love her dearly, and I wouldn't be sitting up here talking to you guys without her. She's great. She is my biggest supporter, and she is always there through the ups and downs. Q. I was going to ask you how special it was to see Sendo, Badds and Scotty there? STEVEN BOWDITCH: To be honest it was a real surprise. I didn't unfortunately see them -- I didn't make a left turn and have a look who was there, and it was really, really good, to be honest. I'm not sure what word to describe it, but it was great to see the Australians there and supporting me like that. I didn't really expect it and it was a wonderful surprise. Q. Any reason why you wore green today? STEVEN BOWDITCH: No. Q. And -- STEVEN BOWDITCH: Only one left that wasn't dirty. Q. I know you said that this win hasn't sunk in but you are going to Augusta. What do you think this win will do now? STEVEN BOWDITCH: To my career, I'm not sure. I guess my life -- hopefully it won't change. I got a great life right now and couldn't wish for a better family life, and I couldn't ask for better health or friends around me, so my life is not going to change. I might be playing a few different golf courses than what I have before. Q. Is there any hole or shot that you can point to that kind of, you know, turned your game around today? STEVEN BOWDITCH: As I said, I was struggling so much with my putter that I wasn't worried about my golf swing or where I was hitting it; it didn't matter to me. I just felt like I had to get it as close to the green as I could and then rely on my chipping. I felt that was my strength at this point in time. So I had a chip on the up and down on the par 5 -- what was it, 14? Is that the par 5? Yeah, 14. After I missed another putt on 13, that up and down and that was only -- that was a 3-footer straight up the hill, but that was probably when I was deep inside my own head with bad thoughts, and to get through that was probably the turning point, I thought. I know it sounds strange but that's what I was battling out there the last two or three days, my short putter. Q. Were you fighting yourself much during the day, the negative thoughts, or were you able to stay positive? STEVEN BOWDITCH: No, I was actually able to stay pretty positive, to be honest. You know, when you're -- I guess after a period of time, out there, the way I was playing, I kind of just accepted the fact that I'm going to be playing in cactus, moving rocks, missing putts and had to deal with it every time. So it was nothing really -- it happened -- it happened so frequently that it never really surprised me, and I could just keep doing what I was doing, and I was lucky enough that the wind was up today and nobody could sort of squeeze in there and shoot a good score.

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 33 Q. Did you change putters after Thursday's round? STEVEN BOWDITCH: I did. Q. Have you done that before? STEVEN BOWDITCH: Yeah, I do it probably every week. Q. Oh, do you? STEVEN BOWDITCH: Yeah, I just -- you know, I tried changing my routine, and I change a lot of things each week with my putter, and it still didn't feel very comfortable, but after I played well on Thursday, my ball striking, I thought, hang on a minute, I might be able to get in contention this week the way I was hitting the ball, so I wanted to go back to a putter that I was completely comfortable with, not knowing that the putter before that or any other putter is going to make a difference. At least that one I knew what its tendencies were and was comfortable with. Q. Steven, it was on 15th where you actually laid down for a good stretch while Andrew finished. What specifically was going through your mind at that point because you had the three holes left and it was getting close? STEVEN BOWDITCH: Yeah, that was definitely -- that was a well-needed sit down, I guess, and take a few deep breaths and just -- I really tried to work out what was going on right then and there, what position I was in. What everyone else was doing, what I thought needed to be done to win. I played it out in my head a few times, played out a few different scenarios. The last three holes, it was in my head so I couldn't fix it; I couldn't change what I was thinking. I just sort of accepted it, and then moved past it and then was able to get right there in the present on the 16th tee. Q. Can you talk about the shot you hit out of the leaves on 17 and what kind of momentum it gave you going into 18. STEVEN BOWDITCH: It wasn't the best shot at all, it was a terrible shot, nothing like I was trying to do. Just at that point I was just trying to hit it on a spot, a spot on the green, hopefully have a decent birdie putt, but I didn't have it, and I was lucky enough to hit a 2-putt. It was a pretty easy shot to be honest. Q. Steven, congratulations. Just your thoughts about how much playing in Texas has been a benefit to you, the wind, getting used to playing, now living up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, how much did that pay off for you? STEVEN BOWDITCH: Yeah, I do practice around Dallas a lot; that's where I live, and to see this kind of weather is not unusual at all, so it's been a big benefit. And where I grew up in Noosa is the same, back home in Australia, it's pretty windy; it's on the coast. So I was sort of accustomed to it, but it wasn't my best weekend ball striking in the wind. It was probably the best grinding I have ever done. Q. Steven, was something uttered out on the 17th tee, where you had to step away from the golf ball? STEVEN BOWDITCH: On my down swing someone in the crowd yelled out, "Don't hook it"! on my way down, so I didn't; I cut it. (Laughter.) Yeah, you know, it's all part of the game. You don't want it to happen but it is what is it so deal with it the best you can. That's sort of -- I'm not going to say it upset me but it got my blood -- my heart racing a little bit so I had to take a little bit of time there and try and get back to where I was. I still didn't think I did that very well.

I felt I was ready before that happened, but, you know, it is what it is.

34 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide Q. (Away from mic.) STEVEN BOWDITCH: Yeah, I guess. Yesterday I guess a lot more than today. I'm just trying to think. Q. You had to hit through the trees? STEVEN BOWDITCH: Yesterday was a the lot more luck, so to speak, involved. I was able to move a lot bigger rocks and if I wasn't doing that I was able to chip out backwards. You need luck out here to win; it's the PGA TOUR, and everyone is pretty good. Unless you're playing unbelievable from tee to green and putting, well you need some luck. Q. What kind of putter did you switch to and how long had you used it previously? STEVEN BOWDITCH: It's a Rife right now that I'm using, and it's probably been in my bag now for probably two or three years. Q. Any relationship back in Australia with Adam Scott? STEVEN BOWDITCH: What's that? Q. Adam Scott will be defending Australia's first Masters. Any relationship from childhood or anything, Junior Golf? STEVEN BOWDITCH: I think Adam is four or five years older than me. We went to the same golfing school, Hill Corral Man, but he was obviously gone. He was always unbelievable as a kid, as an amateur and then now, you know, as he is right now. It's no surprise. He's a great guy and it's be been an inspiration what him and guys like have done, and what they have done for Australian golf in the last year or so is unbelievable. I went back and played the this year, around Christmastime, and there were thousands and thousands of people, and it's like back in the Greg Norman days. It's great to see what they have done for Australian golf. Q. What affect did the wind have today? Someone was saying it was blowing the opposite direction from yesterday? STEVEN BOWDITCH: It was, yeah, straight out of a different direction. But it was gusty today, today was probably the hardest -- you don't mind 20-mile-an-hour wind or whatever as long as it's consistent. It was laying up and coming down and the gusts are hard, you sorta gotta time it. I took a 3 wood on the tee shot on No. 4 -- I took 3-wood there and got a gust, and I mean, I don't know how far I went, 220 yards and I still had, you know, another 220 yards, probably. Then the opposite thing happened, you know, it lays down sometimes when you're putting, and lays down when you're hitting; you gotta change your clubs. That's probably the hardest out there, but it's -- no one said it was going to be easy. Q. Steven, you were talking about the wind and taking a little time here and there. Give us your thoughts, was there ever any concern out there about time in general? I know there was some chatter on Twitter about whether or not some of the golfers were taking too long. STEVEN BOWDITCH: Yeah, I'm not sure. I was told that at some point that we were being timed. I mean, to be honest it really doesn't bother me. I tend to play at a reasonable pace anyway so, you know -- and we're not going to go out there especially on a Sunday, it's windy, it's going to be tough, tough golf course, shot to shot and have a lay down occasionally, I guess. Q. Steve, congratulations on your first one. What's your preparation now for the Masters? Are you going to play next week or going to think about Georgia and how well you can do for a green jacket? STEVEN BOWDITCH: I'm going to try and prepare for next week and Houston. I haven't thought about Augusta; the only time I played it has been on the Play Station. (Laughter.) So I think I know a few of the breaks. I'm excited. I haven't thought about it. No idea, preparation I don't even know how to get there. I mean, I don't know. I'm just going to enjoy this for the next couple of days and get my mind back on track and get ready for Houston next week. THE MODERATOR: Steven, congratulations.

72 2015 Valero Texas Open Media Guide Welcome to San Antonio, a City of Legends and Surprises

Deep in the heart of Texas, San Antonio’s bold spirit and historic legacies make it an ideal gateway to the region’s culture, scenic beauty and restful retreats.

One distinct locale that houses many of San Antonio’s unique offerings is the River Walk. Here you will find miles of meandering paths along the banks of the San Antonio River connecting a Texas-sized sampling of hotels, restaurants, shops, historic landmarks and more. Visitors and locals dine aboard river cruisers and the sounds of mariachis echo from the stone bridges above. This is the river that originally inspired the settlement of San Antonio and it still flourishes today as the city’s center. The River Walk is currently expanding from three to 15 miles, connecting the original downtown core to museums to the north and four Spanish colonial missions to the south.

San Antonio has been a colony of Spain, a territory of Mexico, a part of the Republic of Texas and finally a state in the United States. Relics and tales from this iconic past linger along the city streets. Originally colonized by Spain, San Antonio has five beautifully preserved Spanish colonial missions including The Alamo, the location of a famed battle for Texas independence. La Villita, a small village that housed Spanish soldiers stationed at The Alamo, is now a historic arts village full of life and commerce. Commerce also thrives a few blocks away at Market Square. Known as the largest Mexican market north of the Rio Grande, Market Square is filled with local and imported pieces of art, pottery, jewelry and textiles.

In a historically rich and ethnically diverse city, one would expect to find a vivid tapestry of art, both visual and performing—San Antonio is no exception. Enjoy nationally acclaimed museums including the Smithsonian-affiliated Institute of Texan Cultures, which tells of the people and cultures that built Texas. Other notable museums include the McNay, which has a grand collection of French Impressionist pieces and the San Antonio Museum of Art, which offers the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Latin American Art—the largest repository of its kind.

San Antonio also has museums that are kid-centric. Little ones can roam through a miniature model of San Antonio and see how your skeleton moves when you ride a bike at the San Antonio Children’s Museum. The nearby Witte Museum features scientific and historic exhibits like mummies and a dinosaur gallery.

Beyond the famous River Walk and the historic walls of The Alamo, San Antonio has a burgeoning culinary scene worthy of every palate. From the city’s unique blend of cultures sprout dishes that are rich in tradition and brimming with innovation. The city is on the fast-track to becoming one of the most celebrated dining destinations in the country. Authentic Tex-Mex is a must for any trip to San Antonio, though you’ll find that top

www.ValeroTexasOpen.com 73 chefs have been inspired by the agriculturally rich terrain of the surrounding Hill Country. The dining scene is abundant with wild game, locally grown produce and even chiles found only in this region. To complement, the neighboring Texas Wine Trail is one of the nation’s hottest new wine destinations.

One big culinary hotspot is the third campus of the prestigious Culinary Institute of America located at the historic Pearl Brewery. Dedicated to the foundations of culinary instruction as well as specializations in Latin cuisine, this campus takes advantage of San Antonio’s cultural influences and access to indigenous ingredients. Classes are available for food enthusiasts.

San Antonio’s unique blend of art villages, marketplaces, outlet malls and chic retail spreads invites you to explore a shopping destination as rich and diverse as the city itself. Shopping with a view of the River Walk is available at Rivercenter Mall; take shopping outdoors at the Shops at La Cantera; or explore more than 200 discounted retailers at the Prime and Tanger outlet malls. Kids especially love the largest pair of cowboy boots in the world, found right outside North Star Mall. Towering 40 feet high and 20 feet long, these boots are sure to kick-start a great time for everyone.

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, San Antonio is an ideal destination for golf all year long. Selections are diverse with over 50 courses, ranging from historic gems to modern marvels. The surrounding terrain of spring-fed rivers and rolling hills studded with live oaks only adds to the allure.

San Antonio is also a top destination for theme park lovers. Enjoy animal interactions, water parks, award-winning shows and thrilling rides. At SeaWorld San Antonio (the world’s largest marine life park), not only can you meet Shamu and feed the dolphins, but you can also see beluga whales, penguins, sea lions and more. Just down the road, Six Flags Fiesta Texas is kickin’ up a good time with more fun than you can pack into one day. If you stay into the evening, there is a spectacular fireworks display sure to leave a twinkle in your eye. Designed specifically for individuals with special needs, Morgan’s Wonderland is the world’s first ultra-accessible family fun park. Morgan’s Wonderland is completely wheelchair-accessible, and features rides, playgrounds, gardens and an eight-acre fishing lake.
