Texas senior Travis Vick set for start of PGA Tour fortnight at Mayakoba

A Houston native, University of Texas senior Travis Vick had longed dreamed of teeing it up in his hometown PGA Tour event, and this year, the letter worked, as Vick was chosen to compete in next week’s Cadence Bank Houston Open on a sponsor exemption. The event at Memorial Park was slated to mark Vick’s first non-major Tour start – he was low amateur at the U.S. Open this past summer – but that was until Vick received some more great news about a week and half ago.

World Wide Technology sponsors this week’s Tour stop at Mayakoba and Golf Channel’s East Lake Cup, a college tournament that takes place in late October and in which Texas was competing last week.
