You Oughta Know: History favors Barnes ... kind of

Ricky Barnes shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round of the Valero Texas Open and sits just 18 holes away from his first PGA Tour win. Here's what You Oughta Know heading into the final round at TPC San Antonio.

• Four of the last five winners of this event held the 54-hole lead, with the only exception during that span being Martin Laird who started Sunday five off the pace in 2013.

• Barnes' only other 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour came at the 2009 U.S. Open, where he infamously collapsed with a final round 76 and finished T-2 behind Lucas Glover.
