Jewell and Ott Claim Their Second Senior Division Title
SHREVEPORT, Louisiana (March 25) – Brandon Bingaman, PGA assistant professional at Gleneagles Country Club, and Casey Barbee, Associate at Denton Country Club, carded rounds of 68-65–133, 11-under-par to win the Open Division of the Boxto Pro-Pro Championship. The 36-hole Four-Ball Stroke Play Championship was conducted at Southern Trace Country Club.
The pair started the day one stroke back of the lead, but came out of the gates hot with three birdies in their first three holes. They continued to make birdies throughout the round including on their penultimate hole, which gave them a one-stroke lead.
“I’ve wanted this one bad,” said Bingaman about winning the Championship. This marks his sixth different NTPGA Championship that he has won. For his partner, it marks his first. “I’m one for one! Let’s go. It feels great,” said Barbee.
“Team events are some of my favorite…getting out there with one of your good friends and competing. Getting to play with him [Barbee] and having fun out there…it was really nice for me,” said Bingaman about the new and successful partnership. They will cash a $3,600 champion's check for the win.
Brad Ott, PGA director of instruction at TPC Craig Ranch, and Vince Jewell, PGA instructor at Woodbridge Golf Club, claimed the Senior Division by five strokes. The pair carded rounds of 67-66–133, to finish at 11-under-par.
Speaking about the win Jewell said it feels, “Unbelievably good!”“We make a good pairing,” added Ott. Their victory marks the second victory in three years that the pair have won this Championship, the first coming back in 2023. “Having a good partner makes it easy,” said Jewell. Ott added, ”We actually learn a little bit from each other. We talk about strategies. It’s always good to hear a different point of view.”
The two-time champions are heading back to DFW with a $1,700 payout.
