Brian Harman Takes Early Lead at 2025 Valero Texas Open
Alright, let’s talk about the 2025 Valero Texas Open, and more specifically, Brian Harman’s fantastic start. Harman wasted no time making his presence known at TPC San Antonio, firing an impressive opening-round 66 to set the pace early in the tournament.
For those who know Harman, he’s not just about skill—he’s got stories too. After wrapping up his round, he reflected on one of his best amateur days, recalling a $10,000 side bet payday from the 2007 Porter Cup. Back then, he was grinding through the amateur circuit, playing against some top names like Chris Kirk and Billy Horschel. That tournament marked a major turning point for him, especially after he switched to a belly putter. And as it turned out, that win didn’t just boost his confidence—it also filled his pockets at a time when he was scraping by.

Fast forward to today, and Harman is once again proving his competitive edge. The three-time PGA Tour winner and reigning Open Champion has been in solid form this season, making the cut in seven of nine events. However, he’s struggled to put together four consistent rounds to break through for a win. If this start is any indication, that may change soon.
Harman kept it simple in his post-round interview. He credited his strong driving and improved putting for his performance, noting that his game has been feeling close but hadn’t produced the results he wanted—until now. He also emphasized the importance of patience and execution, something he’s been working on all season.
And let’s not forget, there’s a hefty payday at stake. The winner of the Valero Texas Open gets a cool $1.7 million, plus an additional $10,000. So, if Harman can keep this momentum going, he might just add another lucrative win to his résumé.
One thing’s for sure—he loves Texas, and Texas seems to love him back. With unpredictable weather on the horizon, his early lead could be a huge advantage. We’ll have to wait and see if he can hold onto it through the weekend.
