Club: TPC San Antonio (AT&T Oaks Course)

Location: San Antonio, Texas.

Date: April 16-22, 2012

Golf Odds: Established in 1992, The Valero Texas Open, generally referred to as the Texas Open, is the PGA tournament event sponsored by the San Antonio-based Valero Energy Corporation which took over naming rights for the PGA tour event in 2002. The Valero Texas Open is played at The Resort Course at the La Cantera Golf Club in San Antonio, Texas, and has always been considered an event in which it is fairly easy to achieve below-par scores.

In 2007 and 2008, the event was part of the PGA Tour Fall Series. With the demise of the regular-season stop in Atlanta, the PGA Tour moved the Texas Open tournament into the open slot on the schedule in May, and it became a regular FedEx Cup event.

In 2012, the Texas Open offeres an increased purse of $6.2 million with a $1,116,000 winner's check.

2012 Valero Texas Open Winner - Ben Curtis takes Texas Open, first Tour win since '06

Holding off Matt Every and John Huh in a tense back-nine finish, Curtis finished with flourish by holing a 12-footer for birdie on the par-5 18th, sealing a two-stroke victory and his fourth PGA Tour title. His even-par 72 put him at 9 under and triggered a wave of emotions that Curtis said he didn't know were in him.

Curtis won $1,116,000 and a two-year tour exemption — a more meaningful reward after being relegated to a status so low that this victory came in just the fourth PGA Tour event he managed to get into this year.

It was 2003 when Curtis kissed the Claret Jug at Royal St. George's with a square jawline and closely cropped black hair. This time, he was handed a pair of cowboy boots, smiling with a rounder face and a better appreciation of the journey.

Every had a 71 and lost a chance at his first tour win with a shaky putter. Huh roared back with a 69, but the Mayakoba Classic winner fell just short of completing what would have been a remarkable comeback.

Huh nearly withdrew Thursday when he plunged to 5 over through only his first three holes and finished with a 77. But he rebounded with rounds of 68 and 67 to give Curtis and Every another player to worry about Sunday.

2011 winner - Brendan Steele Captures 1st PGA Tour Victory

On Sunday, Brendan Steele won the 2011 Valero Texas Open with an 8-under score, holding off Charley Hoffman and Kevin Chappell. In his first year on the PGA Tour, this win was his first PGA victory. He took home $1,266,504 for his winnings.

Steele shot 1-under for the day, sinking two birdies and bogeying one hole in the front nine. He shot par on the back nine. Hoffman moved up six spots on the leader board following his 4-under for the final round. Two birdies and an eagle on the front nine, but a bogey on Hole No. 14 set him back. He kept Steele's victory to a one streak by making a birdie on the final hole. Chappell entered the final round with a 5-under score and was at 8-under before a bogey on the 17th hole left him at 7-under.

2010 Winner

After struggling to start the 2010 PGA Tour, Adam Scott broke through on Sunday, winning the 2010 Valero Texas Open by one shot over Fredrik Jacobson.  Almost 25 full months after his last PGA Tour victory, the 29 year old Australian gets tha Valero championship.

Scott climbed to No. 3 on the Official World Golf Rankings in early 2008. He was one of golf's official "young guns," with a major championship predicted as the next big step.

"It's not easy," he said. "There are a lot of great players. You look at the top 20 guys as well. Any of them could be top 10. We're all fighting it out for our place out there and you can go even deeper and any of the guys up to 200 are good enough to play in the top 15 in the world."
