Texas High graduate Zack Fischer is closer to where he called home for much of his life with the Veritex Bank Championship teeing off Thursday at the Texas Rangers Golf Club in Arlington, Texas.

The Texarkana native is vying for the $180,000 first prize from the $1 million purse in the Korn Ferry Tour event.

Through five holes Thursday morning, Fischer was at 1-under-par in the first round, which puts him in a tie for 14th place.

After winning the Visa Arentina Open golf tournament last December, he received an invitation to the 2023 British Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club in England.
