Scottish golfer Bob MacIntyre is facing a grueling Sunday at the PGA Tour event in San Antonio, Texas. Due to weather delays earlier in the tournament, MacIntyre must now complete 30 holes on the final day as he tries to hold onto his lead.

Why it matters

MacIntyre is looking to secure a spot in the upcoming Masters tournament, one of golf's major championships. A strong finish in San Antonio would go a long way towards that goal, but the marathon Sunday schedule poses a significant challenge.

The details

The weather issues earlier in the week at the San Antonio event forced organizers to push the tournament into an extra day on Sunday. As a result, MacIntyre and the rest of the field must now play 30 holes to determine the winner, a grueling test of endurance and focus.

  • The tournament was originally scheduled to conclude on Saturday, April 5, 2026.
  • Due to weather delays, the final round was pushed to Sunday, April 6, 2026.
