Previewing Houston Open Round 1

Officially known as the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open, this week’s tournament has been a fixture on the PGA Tour schedule for years. This year’s field is full of players with recent PGA Tour wins on their resumes. Look no further than the grouping of Max Homa, Sungjae Im and Sam Burns. All three players, who will tee it up together for the first two rounds in Houston, have already captured a victory in the new 2021-22 season.

Homa triumphed at the Fortinet Championship in September, the first official event of the season. Burns won the Sanderson Farms Championship, the very next event, and Im recorded his second career victory at the Shriners Children’s Open. Now they will all go to battle to try and nail down a rare fall two-fer, beginning at 1:09 p.m. ET on Thursday afternoon.
