Valero Texas Open: Brendan Steele Leds By Three Strokes After Round 2

American Brendan Steele finished the second round at the Valero Texas Open at -10 under par, three strokes ahead of Scott Langley. And while this well-established tournament is not among the top tier on the PGA Tour it does provide both journeymen and new PGA members an excellent opportunity to polish their gains as attention turns to The Players next month. Charlie Hoffman has finished T-13 or better each of the last six years at this event, and he is well on his way to another high finish after opening with a 66. Hoffman carded seven birdies against just one bogey, closing with an 11-foot make on No. 18 to reach 6 under as he looks for his first win since the 2014 OHL Classic at Mayakoba. Meanwhile, Jimmy Walker, a native son, won this event last year by four shots over Jordan Spieth. But a repeat seems unlikely after Walker opened with a 3-over 75 that left him 11 shots off the early pace. Walker managed only one birdie against four bogeys and now has an uphill battle simply to make the cut. Which players holds the advantage leading into weekend play?
