Charley Hoffman seeks home comforts in Texas

Charley Hoffman will feel right at home defending the Valero Texas Open title in San Antonio as he looks to put his Masters disappointment behind him.

Hoffman entered the final round at Augusta just two shots off the lead before carding a six-over 78 as hopes of the Green Jacket disappeared and he plummeted down the leaderboard into a tie for 22nd.

After missing the cut at the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island, the 40-year-old returns to familiar territory this week on the AT&T Oaks Course at a tournament where he has only finished outside the top 13 once, with a runner-up spot in 2011 and joint third place four years ago.
