HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Journeyman golf pro Derek Bard last played in a PGA Tournament in 2017. He has participated in a long list of minor league tournaments. However, a chance meeting at Westwood Golf Club during Monday's Qualifier for Texas Children's Houston Open set Bard up for a very special week. Bard flew into Houston from Florida last Sunday morning by himself. He planned to carry his own bag in Monday's Qualifier. "I wasn't planning on playing a practice round or anything," Bard said.
