Wagner came to Texas with the intention of ending his streak of five tournaments in which he failed to make the cut.
«A very even round, it is a course that suits my game. I was able to take advantage of how well I’m hitting the driver and that left me very good chances with the second shots and in the most complicated holes I was intelligent and that’s why I didn’t bogey. In addition, I took advantage of the par five, I lowered the three that there are, so I’m happy, “said the 33-year-old.
