It has relocated on the calendar since Covid as it used to be the tournament before the Masters. It has relocated geographically to Memorial Park golf club for the last three years. Memorial Park is a fairly stern test as a par 71 course running to 7,412\u00a0 yards. Big ball hitters such as Sam Burns have tended to play well for the first two editions at this venue. You certainly need to be hitting your long irons well here. The famous Texas wind can also be a factor so check tee times and weather conditions to ensure your selections are getting the best of the conditions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Blue Horseshoe Loves&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lee Hodges &#8211; Currently +8500 with Betonline\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"690\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lee-Hodges.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lee-Hodges.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lee-Hodges-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lee-Hodges-128x85.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Lee-Hodges-32x21.jpg 32w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Lee Hodges +8500<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s getting closer all the time.
