HUMBLE, Texas – Johnson Wagner came to the Shell Houston Open in desperate need of a spark.
The veteran had missed the cut in all six of his starts this year. He hadn’t played a final round since the RSM Classic in November.
For Wagner, though, it’s a familiar position entering what he described as his favorite event. Back in 2008, he came to Houston on a run of eight starts that included six missed cuts, a T-78 finish and a T-64 finish. He left with the trophy after his first PGA Tour win.
