With most of the marquee players skipping the Valero Texas Open, including Ted Potter, Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, the formerly highly-rated event has lost much of its luster. The first-round leader is Grayson Murray, whose 5-under 67 is good for a one-stroke edge over a host of players, one of them Florida Gator Billy Horschel, who appears to have regained his game in recent starts.

    Of the other Gators, Matt Every is at even-par 72 and tied for 35th, but Brian Gay's 2-over 74 is tied for 87th and Brett Stegmaier's 3-over 75 is tied for 107th. Camilo Villegas, originally in the entries, opted out late.
