SAN ANTONIO (May 15, 2010) With the ground crew working right up to tee time to prepare the course from overnight rains, the second round of the Valero Texas Open kicked off Saturday morning at the TPC San Antonio and the JW Marriott Hill County Resort and Spa.

Heavy rains canceled Friday’s second round, which began play Saturday, with the possibility of 36-holes being played on Sunday or the final round being rescheduled until Monday.

Tournament director Slugger White said, “A lot is going to depend on what we do tomorrow weather-wise, how much play we get. So probably, I would think, early to mid-afternoon we'll know a little more about what's going on Sunday.”

154 players were set to tee off Saturday with first round leader Matt Jones scheduled to begin at 1:50pm. Jones shot six under par 66 to lead the field after Thursday’s first round.

Paul Stankowski, who fired a five under par 67 to finish the first round, is scheduled for a 1:10pm tee time.
