Open

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Tony
Finau arrived at the 18th
tee with a chance at a
course record, but his ap-
proach splashed in the wa-
ter and his bogey dropped
him into a second-round
tie for the lead with Bud
Cauley at the Valero Texas
Open on Friday.
A birdie at the par-5 final
hole would have given
Finau a share of the course
record, but he settled for a
7-under 65 and is tied with
Cauley at 8 under through
36 holes at TPC San Anto-
nio.
Ian Poulter, Europe’s Ryder
Cup star, missed the cut
and lost his fully exempt
