Valero Texas Open Monday qualifier Tom Adrounie reveals bizzare reason behind missing last year's event

On Monday, April 1, Tom Adrounie became one of the four Monday qualifiers for the Valero Texas Open, the PGA Tour's stop this week. While this will be his first start at the TPC San Antonio, he had a chance to make it here last year, but a bizarre situation resulted in him missing the tee time.

Adrounie was in the Qualifiers for the 2023 Valero Texas Open on Monday as well and was set to tee it off at 8 am. A night before, he took Zyrtec, an allergy pill, which cost him the opportunity.

"I woke up at 8:30 am," Adrounie told PGA Tour. "My alarm was going off; my wife was calling me. And yeah, I missed that one. I didn't make it out here that day."

He added that it was full circle that he made it to the playing field of the Valero Texas Open this time, but termed that incident last year as the worst day of his golfing career.

"My wife was like, 'Does anybody know that you missed your tee time last year because you slept through it and missed it?' And now I can say yes. So that's pretty cool," the 34-year-old golfer added.
