The PGA Tour continues at the Valero Texas Open this week, having just said goodbye to the Houston Open.

Scottie Scheffler enjoyed a ‘solid week’ at the Houston Open, but it was Min Woo Lee who emerged victorious.

He clinched his maiden PGA Tour title at Memorial Park, finishing one shot ahead of both Scheffler and Gary Woodland.

Lee has been tipped as a Masters long shot, which follows this week’s Valero Texas Open later this month.

A long list of star names will take to Augusta National for the major championship, with Scheffler out to defend his title.
