Houston Open leader Ryan Gerard complains about getting ‘fatigued’ by umbrella

Houston Open leader Ryan Gerard has complained about getting "fatigued" by the umbrella at the tournament. He is over with one round of the PGA Tour event.

In the press conference after the round, Gerard was asked about the playing conditions and how he manages in wet weather.

“So like, I'm weird, I don't like holding the umbrella because I feel like my arms get fatigued and I stand over a shot and I feel like I hit it weird. So I kind of just wear the rain jacket and try and not get the grips wet," Ryan Gerard said. "If I can do that and just pick quality targets and try and just make solid swings to the targets."

"Whatever happens from there is kind of up to the skid or the rain or the water droplets or whatever it could be. So I just try to pick good targets and make quality swings to 'em, and pretty happy with how it went,” Ryan Gerard added.

Gerard scored 5-under in the first round of the PGA Tour event with three birdies on the front nine and four on the back.

Ryan Gerard will start Round 2 at 3:42 pm with Max McGreev and Trevor Cone on the first tee. David Lipsky, Vince Whaley, and Aldrich Potgieter will tee off at 8:20 am on the same tee. Next to them, C.T. Pan, Matti Schmid, and Ben Silverman will start at 8:31 am on the first tee.
