THE COLONY, TX
– Celine Boutier of Dallas, Texas, LPGA Tour professional, will take a three-stroke lead into tomorrow’s final round of the Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women’s Open over Round One leader Cheyenne Knight, fellow LPGA Tour professional, of Aledo, Texas. Boutier finished at an impressive 7-under par in today’s round to sit at 10-under 132 for the Championship. She carded seven birdies and no bogeys en route to a 64 for the day.
“This course is pretty tricky, it’s pretty challenging. You have to always be able to stay focused. Every hole you have to really be careful and stay present, just because you make a couple of birdies… it can go the other way as well. I think this course makes it easier for me to focus on the hole-by-hole,” Boutier stated after today’s morning round. “I think [for tomorrow] I just need to not think too far ahead of myself, because that’s how I usually get stressed out. I’m just going to keep doing what I’ve been doing: hit as many fairways as I can and just give myself as many opportunities as I can, and hopefully that works out well."
Following today’s round, the 119-player field was cut to the low 50 scores and ties. Boutier leads a field of 54 players into the final round of the Championship. 35 professionals and 19 amateurs survived the cut, which was at 9-over-par 153. Heading into tomorrow’s final round, LPGA Tour professionals Kristen Gillman, Yu Liu, Lindsey Weaver and Brittany Lang are in the top ten also vying for the win.
The overall championship purse is $50,000. The 35 remaining professionals in the field are competing for a share of the purse with the low professional set to take home $10,000.
The 19 remaining amateurs are competing for the Low Amateur award and a crystal trophy. Also, the top five amateurs will be awarded gift certificates redeemable inside the golf shop at Golf Clubs at The Tribute. Currently, Meagan Winans (a) of Richardson, Texas, 2019 Texas Women’s Open Low Amateur, sits atop the Low Amateur leaderboard at 1-under-par 141. She is followed by amateurs Kate Smith (a) and Kenzie Wright (a), who are each 2-shots behind. Meagan’s sister Libby Winans (a) follows by 3-shots.
The 2020 Texas Women's Open champion will also receive a crystal trophy and an LPGA Tour exemption into the 2021 Marathon LPGA Classic at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio.
The 54-hole stroke play event features a field of 119 top playing professionals and amateurs competing at Golf Clubs at The Tribute (Old American course).

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.”
