Irwin Seeks Texas Open Victory After Narrow Prior Win
Hale Irwin arrives at the $200,000 Texas Open in San Antonio with 1978 winnings of $178,441 and a dry spell for titles. He notes strong play yet no wins this year, as top money leaders join the field on the sodden Oak Hill course following heavy rains that caused flooding and one death in the area. Irwin won last year’s Texas Open by two strokes over Miller Barber, who previously beat him in 1976.
