"He is colder than Scottie Scheffler" – Fans react to Brian Harman's win at the Valero Texas Open 2025

On Sunday, April 6, Brian Harman prevailed over tricky, windy conditions to win the Valero Texas Open 2025. Despite shooting a 3-over 75 in the final round, he posted a three-shot win over Ryan Gerard to claim his fourth PGA Tour win.

Harman was 12-under ahead of the final day at TPC San Antonio but had a disappointing start and was 3-over after the front nine. He picked up two birdies on the back nine but then shot back-to-back bogeys to finish at 9-under. Gerard jumped 15 spots after firing a 69 and finished solo runner-up. Andrew Novak, who was three shots back after 54 holes, shot 76 and eventually finished at T3.

The Valero Texas Open 2025 is Brian Harman's first win on the PGA Tour since the Open Championship 2023. Besides, this is his first non-major win since the Wells Fargo Championship 2017.
