The Valero Texas Open’s projected cut of even par will claim two of the tournament’s most popular players - Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau.
Mickelson missed the projected cut by four shots, shooting 77-71.

The MC was only Mickelson’s third of the year, but second in a row, following his early exit from the Masters.
DeChambeau, who finished T-21 in the Masters, then followed with a T-4 finish in his much-anticipated debut as a professional at the RBC Heritage, shot 74-73 in San Antonio. A California native, he went to college at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.
