After 'traumatic' experiences at Texas Open, Daniel Berger is back and better than ever
After 'traumatic' experiences at Texas Open, Daniel Berger is back and better than ever SAN ANTONIO — The second act of Daniel Berger's PGA Tour career has incorporated several evolutionary twists from the first. After recovering from a back injury that forced him to the sidelines for more than a year, Berger admits he's better about his fitness now, better about appreciating each day as it comes. And better about keeping an open mind about the golf courses on which he plies his trade. For example, Berger had made just two appearances at the Valero Texas Open prior to this week, missing the cut in both 2015 and 2019. But on Friday, Berger posted his first sub-70 round at TPC San Antonio's Oaks Course, finishing with an even 68 to move near the top of the leaderboard. Through 36 holes, Berger is 6 under, and in solid position to post his first victory since the 2021 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. And when asked why he'd been away from the Alamo City for so long, he said some unsavory weather conditions might have soured his memories of the area. "I think it just was traumatic the first couple times I played this," he said after making his sixth straight cut this season. "The first year I played it, it blew like 40 miles an hour, and it was really, really tough. But actually I play better on tougher golf courses, so when I was trying to decide between Houston and here, it was pretty easy to circle this one on the schedule, knowing that it's the test that it is." Weather might be an issue this weekend in San Antonio Things might get nasty again, as the forecast is calling for significant rain on Saturday and wind chills in the high 20s on Sunday morning, a massive drop from the high-80s-and-sunshine the players basked in on Friday. But you won't find Berger complaining much. "I think I don't take anything for granted. Earlier in my career, I maybe would have skipped a few of the essentials that I would never skip now, whether that be in the gym or the recovery component of it," he said. "I think I'm much more of a professional now than I was early on in my career. And I think that I'm still young in the golf world, I'm 32. I feel like I have a lot of golf left in me and a lot of good golf left in me. "I think missing that year and a half was actually a huge benefit to me because I learned things that I would have had to learn the hard way ... if I hadn't gone through that experience." Berger has had success in Texas before, winning the Charles Schwab Challenge in the first golf tournament after the COVID break. But he said recent work on his putting has helped his game become more adaptable to any surface. "One of the things that I always struggled with was a little bit slower greens, I think I was always better on faster greens," he said. "I spent a lot of time on my stroke in the last three, four months and I think it's starting to pay off. The reason I say that, because I think I'm able to adjust to the different speeds of the greens, so I feel comfortable out here, and then next week at Augusta, I feel comfortable going to a place where they will be much faster. "It's just nice to see some putts go in."

Austin weather: Wildfire danger for most of Central Texas
The Brief Most of Texas is under a Red Flag Warning on March 14 A homeless encampment in East Austin was shut down because it was on 37 acres of high-wildfire-risk land Fire risk is something Austin City Council members are scheduled to discuss soon AUSTIN, Texas - The City of Austin has cleared out a homeless encampment because of its high fire risk. This comes as most of Texas is under a Red Flag Warning on March 14. The Red Flag Warning means critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now or will shortly. What they're saying The City of Austin said the homeless encampment at Ben White Boulevard and Montopolis Drive sits on 37 acres of high-wildfire-risk land, and if a fire were to spark, it could disrupt essential services nearby, like a water storage and pump facility, a large healthcare center, and a psychiatric emergency facility. Just last year, the Austin Fire Department responded to 35 fire-related calls at the homeless encampment. The City's Homeless Strategy Office said the site is now closed and 32 people have been relocated to shelters. This comes just as Texas A&M Forest Service said outdoor activity that could cause a flame should be avoided. "Avoiding those kinds of activities for today or until conditions improve, really, because winds are going to be so high, embers can travel a lot," Texas A&M Forest Service Heather Gonzales said. Pflugerville Fire Department Assistant Chief Daniel Berger said 90% of wildfires are human-related, so don't drag chains on trailers, be mindful where you park, not in dry grass, and be careful discarding cigarette buds. "A lot of the state still has the freeze-cured grasses from the winter and so until we can get some significant precipitation to help facilitate the green up of those grasses, we might see some higher fire potential," Gonzales said. Dig deeper Most of the counties in Texas have issued burn bans, including in Blanco, Lampasas, Bell, Milam, and Llano Counties. "The reality is everybody here is at risk," Chief Berger said. Fire risk is something Austin City Council members are scheduled to discuss soon. Austin's current wildfire risk map was drawn in 2015. The new proposed risk map includes a significantly larger area of land. These designations impact construction requirements in those areas. On Thursday, March 13, the Texas A&M Forest Service responded to three new wildfires burning across the state, in San Saba, Hidalgo, and Upshur Counties. On Friday, March 14, the Texas A&M Forest Service responded to three more new wildfires burning across the state, in Roberts, Gray, and Cass Counties.

Red Flag Warning issued for some Central Texas counties
TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas - Travis County is under a Red Flag Warning on March 12, which means there is a substantial risk of wildfires. High winds and low humidity are contributing to these conditions. What they're saying Asst. Chief Daniel Berger with the Pflugerville Fire Department/Travis County ESD 2 says they're prepared. "Behind the scenes, all the area fire departments and first responders are calling each other, going into meetings and ensuring our lines of communication are open, that we're staffed accordingly, and that we have units where they need to be," he said. The conditions mean people shouldn't be burning. "Nine out of ten wildfires are human-related. So certainly today, no burning," Berger said. Make sure you're not dragging trailer chains, don't park on dry grass, and don't throw cigarette butts out the window. The winds are similar to last Tuesday, which also had a high wildfire risk. "Tuesday was very rowdy. Tuesday was incredibly busy for our folks. We were up staffed thankfully, and we were very well-prepared," Berger said. "We saw, I think, four fires last Tuesday and a number of calls for wires down." In Hays County last week, the Onion Creek burned 190 acres. Each area has its challenges. East Travis County doesn't have a lot of junipers and large vegetation like West Travis County has. "We have light, flashy fuels, grasses that are easy to start and they move fast, so we have to get on them quick. We certainly did last week," Berger said. Berger says they may bring in more staff later this week. "We do predict Friday looks like it's going to be a challenging fire weather day as well, so we do plan on up staffing," he said. Why you should care Be sure to stay up-to-date. You can sign up for emergency alerts from "We need people to be vigilant, pay attention to what they're doing," Berger said. Berger also says you can ask your local fire department about a home ignition zone assessment, where a firefighter can come out to your home and see what the wildfire risks are and what recommendations they have to protect it.
