– 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.
