Two Aggies, Martin Piller and Ryan Palmer, finished tied for fourth at the Valero Texas Open. Both golfers had their best result of the season, while Piller also notched the first top-five finish of his PGA Tour career. Charley Hoffman ultimately won the tournament in dramatic fashion by getting up and down on hole 18 and winning by one stroke. Social media reacted.
Martin Piller has just one top 60 this season.
He currently leads in Texas.https://t.co/DgPDg8r5qs
