Brian Harman survives the wind and leads Texas Open
SAN ANTONIO — Brian Harman survived 30 mph wind by playing the final 13 holes without a bogey, giving him an even-par 72 and a three-shot lead in a Valero Texas Open so difficult that only six players managed to break par.
Harman had his chance to join them until narrowly missing a 12-foot birdie attempt on the final hole at the TPC San Antonio.

Who could miss the cut at the Memorial Tournament?
Several big names are in danger of not making the cut at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club. As of 3: 45 p.m. on May 30, the cutline stood at 5 over par. The top 50 players and any golfer within 10 shots of the leader qualify to play the third and fourth rounds. Justin Thomas tees off on the first hole during the rainy second round of the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin on May 30, 2025. Two-time major champion Justin Thomas looked doomed to miss the cut when he shot an 80 in the first round. But he rebounded with a 69 capped by a 7-foot birdie putt on No. 18 to get to 5 over. Advertisement "I didn't and I don't know if it's going to be good enough, but I knew my chances were a lot better at (plus) 5 than 6," Thomas said. "I was trying to make as many birdies as I could." Thomas said he didn't play as badly as he scored on May 29. "I felt I got penalized for some shots that weren't that bad yesterday," he said. "It's a little easier to play today when you don't really have anything to lose. But it was obviously tough. It was raining the entire day, and I put together a really great round of golf. Regardless of what happens, I have a lot to be proud of and build on. Hopefully, we'll get a chance to play some more." Brian Harman, who won the 2023 British Open, followed up his 76 with a 78 and is at 10 over par. Advertisement Others who could miss the cut include Matt Fitzpatrick, Michael Kim, Wyndham Clark, 2013 Memorial winner Matt Kuchar and Adam Scott. Justin Rose, the 2010 Memorial winner, shot a 78 in the first round and bogeyed the first hole May 39 but then caught fire. He holed out from 107 yards away on No. 3 for an eagle and then birdied six of his first seven holes on the back nine to get to 1 under par. "I knew the course was super tough," Rose said. "I knew I probably didn't need to go super low to make the cut today, and my primary objective was to make the cut. But things really started flowing."

Who is Ryan Gerard, PGA Championship Leader at Quail Hollow
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ryan Gerard is the early first-round leader of the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow as he makes his debut in this major. It looked like he played a different course than most of the field for most of his round, as he signed for a 5-under 66, one shot better than those tied in second. He opened his day with a birdie and bogey at the par-4 2 and 3. Gerard would make one more birdie to turn in 34 strokes. However, his back nine was when he went nuclear. The former UNC Tarheel made four straight birdies on holes 10-13. Then followed up with an impressive chip-in eagle from 58 feet at the par-5 15th. The touch on this chip for eagle 😮💨🦅 — ESPN (@espn) May 15, 2025 That eagle got him to 7-under on the day. However, part of the Green Mile (holes 16-18) got the best of him. Gerard made a par at the 16th, which caused many players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler issues. He made bogey on 17 and 18, dropping back-to-back shots to close his round. The 25-year-old did not finish his first round like he wanted, but a lot of good came out of those 18 holes. Gerard currently leads the field in strokes gained tee-to-green with +5.186 and is third in approach-the-green at +2.919.

CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA - MAY 15: Ryan Gerard of the United States tees off on the 18th hole during the first round of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Country Club on May 15, 2025 in Charlotte, North Carolina. More Photo byHe should still be very proud of himself because it marked his 13th par or better open round in his last 14 starts. His only over-par score to start a tournament came at the Valero Texas Open, where he finished solo second, his best of the year, per PGA Tour Communications. Ryan Gerard holds the clubhouse lead at the PGA Championship with a 66, his 13th par-or-better opening round in 14 individual stroke-play events this season. His only over-par opening round (73) this season led to a career-best runner-up finish at the Valero Texas Open. — PGA TOUR Communications (@PGATOURComms) May 15, 2025 Regardless, the Raleigh, North Carolina native leads the PGA Championship, which is not easy. Who is Ryan Gerard? Not many people know who Ryan Gerard is, so let's examine his career up to this point. Gerard attended UNC Chapel Hill and turned pro in 2022. He played with Ben Griffin in college and had one college victory at UNC, the 2021 Rod Myers Invitational. In 2022, he was the co-medalist at the 2022 U.S. Open qualifier at the Club at Admiral's Cove in Jupiter, Fla. He made his major championship debut at The Country Club for the U.S. Open but missed the cut after going 74-73. In his first year on Tour, he played in 22 events with 2 top 10s and 3 Top 25s. However, he only made 12 cuts and missed 10. Gerard went down to the Korn Ferry Tour and played in six events in 2023. Last year, he played in 26 events on the Korn Ferry Tour. He won the BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD Synnex last June. In those 26 events, Gerard had 4 top 10s and 12 Top 25s while missing just six cuts all season. The big-time Carolina Panthers fan finished 13th in the Korn Ferry Tour Points List, which gave him exempt status through 2025. He has taken advantage of that status, too. So far in 2025, he has 14 starts, one runner-up finish, two Top 10s and six Top 25s. Gerard has also only missed two cuts this year. His best finish was, of course, at the Valero, but that came after a solo ninth at the Texas Children's Houston Open. Now he leads the PGA Championship by one shot. Will that continue for him, and will he shock the world by winning his PGA Championship debut? More Golf: Keegan Bradley's Ryder Cup Plan to Coerce Team USA Members Revealed
