THE COLONY, TX
– Celine Boutier, LPGA Tour professional, of Dallas, TX, captured the Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women’s Open after firing a 4-under 67 in today’s final round with four birdies and an eagle. She finished the Championship with rounds of 68-64-67–199 (14-under par).
Boutier held a 3-stroke lead going into today’s round over fellow LPGA Tour professional Cheyenne Knight of Aledo, TX. She managed to hold Knight off on the back nine, carding birdies on holes 10 and 16 and an eagle on 17 to secure her victory. Heading into today’s final round, Boutier was also up against one of the strongest fields in Texas Women’s Open history. She was able to best fellow LPGA Tour professionals Kristen Gillman, Yu Liu, Lindsey Weaver and Brittany Lang who entered the round in the top ten also. With her victory, Boutier takes home $10,000 and a crystal trophy.
“[Today’s round] was pretty tight, I feel like Cheyenne was playing super nice from the beginning and I kind of struggled a little bit to get my game together, but I knew at the end that I had birdie opportunities. I made a good putt on 16 for birdie, which gave me a lot of confidence, and a pretty long one on 17 for eagle that really helped me out,” said Boutier after the round.
“I’m over the moon. I could not have expected the week to go better. I wasn’t really sure how the week was gonna go because I haven’t played competitively in a while. I’m super excited with the way I handled all three rounds and the way I handled myself today with the nerves and everything,” Boutier said of how it feels to be the 2020 Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women’s Open champion.
With rounds of 66-73-72–211 (5-under par), amateur Sadie Englemann (a) of Austin, Texas, finished as the Low Amateur for the Championship. Englemann, who graduated high school this spring has committed to play golf at Stanford University in the fall. Englemann was in a tight race as well, holding off University of Alabama golfer Kenzie Wright (a) and 2019 Texas Women’s Open Low-Amateur champion Meagan Winans (a) of Richardson, Texas.
“It feels really good to be the [low-amateur] champion today. I came into this tournament not expecting much. I came out here and my game really started to come together. I took more aggressive lines today and tried to make more birdies, I knew that’s what it would take to win,” Englemann said. “It means a lot [to be the low-amateur champion] because I played against a lot of good players and professionals, which was cool to see. I grew up watching some of the pros I played against this week. Playing well in this field is really special to me.”
The 2020 Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women’s Open also offered an exemption into the LPGA Tour’s 2021 Marathon LPGA Classic. This exemption was awarded to the highest ranked non-LPGA Tour professional in the field after the final round. Valentina Haupt, of Weston, FL, claimed this exemption.
“The exemption means a lot because it will be my first time playing on the LPGA Tour. I’ve never played in such a tough field before this week and it was a great experience overall and I’m really excited to receive this exemption,” Haupt said.
Following yesterday’s round, the 119-player field was cut to the low 50 scores and ties. The final field consisted of 35 professionals and 19 amateurs.
The 35 professionals that remained in the field competed for a share of the professional purse. The 19 amateurs competed for the Low Amateur award and a crystal trophy. Also, the top five amateurs received gift certificates. The overall championship purse was $50,000.
The 54-hole stroke play event featured a field of 119 top playing professionals and amateurs competing at Golf Clubs at The Tribute (Old American course). This marks the second year that the Old American course hosted the Championship after hosting in 2013. The 2020 Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women's Open field was one of the best in the Championship's history and is stacked with LPGA Tour professionals, World Amateur Golf ranked amateurs, Olympians and more.

LEWISVILLE, Texas (September 16) – Adam Headley, PGA head professional at Green Tree Country Club captured the Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship after a 6-under-par final round. His bogey-free 34-32–66 and a first round 69, got him to 9-under-par for the Championship and a one stroke victory. It also earned Headley an exemption into the 2026 THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Headley was playing in the third to last group and began the final round three strokes behind the leaders. He quickly fell further behind the lead after starting with three pars, until a birdie at the par-5 4th hole got things going. On the back nine it was a battle between Headley and Brian Norman, PGA instructor at Lakewood Country Club. Headley eagled the 12th hole and added two more birdies on 15 and 18 to close and post 9-under-par. “My goal today was to play the par fives 4-under. I accomplished that,” said Headley. “I don’t like to look at the leaderboard, but I looked at it going into 18 tee and had a feeling I was sitting pretty good there.” “Honestly I didn’t think I'd ever win one. Not because I'm not a good player but because we have so many good players in the Section. If I had to choose any tournament to win, it would be this one.” Headley earned $9,250 along with his exemption into THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. “I’ve been a golf pro for almost 20 years and now to be playing in a PGA TOUR event, I don’t care how I do, It’s going to be a blast. I’m super excited about it, it’s a dream come true.”
