The Shell Houston Open has been playeda'in various formsa'since 1922, when it absolutely was the Independent Insurance Agent Open. It became the Houston Open in 1930. Today, the tournament is played at the Redstone Driver in Humble, Texas, only outside Houston. Itas cosponsored by Shell and the Houston Golf Association. The Houston Golf Association has run as a since 1946 for the advantage of youth oriented charities. Along with the recurring Shell Houston Open, the Association also offers gotten the 1969 US Open, the 1967 Ryder Cup, the 1990, 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2003 PGA Tour Championships, as well as other USGA finals. The Shell Houston Open was played at many Houston spots until the 1970s, beginning at River Oaks Country Club in 1946 before moving to Memorial Park Greens in 1947 and, after a year off, moving again to Pine Forest Country Club in 1949 and BraeBurn Country Club in 1950. After this period of wandering about, the function settled in at Memorial Park from 1951a'1963. In 1964 and again in 1965, the event was performed at Sharpstown Country Club, before going to Champions Golf Club from 1966a'1971 and Westwood Country Club in 1972. In 1973 the big event ventured outside Houston, being performed at Quail Valley Country Club in Missouri City, Texas. In 1975, the event moved to The Woodlands, Texas, first at Woodlands Country Club until 1984, and therefore at the TPC at The Woodlands until 2002. In 2003, the event moved back again to Houston to its current location at Redstone Golf Club. Curtis Strange (1980), Lee Trevino (1980) and Vijay Singh (2002) support the record for lowest aggregate rating, at 266. Strange and Singh also discuss the report for probably the most victories, at three. The lower 18 record is held by Fred Funk, 10-under-par 62, Woodlands TPC, 1992; and Ron Streck, 9-underpar 62, Woodlands West, 1982. An interesting side note. Legendary amateur player Frank Stranahan finished 2nd in 1952.
