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). This is the second year that the Old American course is hosting the Championship after hosting in 2013. The 2020 Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women's Open field is one of the best in the Championship's history and is stacked with LPGA Tour professionals, World Amateur Golf ranked amateurs, Olympians and more.

DALLAS, Texas (November 3) — After two hard-fought days, the 10th Levy Cup Matches have concluded, and Team NTPGA has secured the victory in dominant fashion with a final score of 16 to 8 over Team STPGA. The Levy Cup is a Ryder Cup-style format tournament featuring teams represented by four Assistant PGA Professionals, four Senior PGA Professionals (any PGA classification, aged 50 and older) and four PGA Members (excluding A-8s and classifications not included in the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches) who qualified by earning points through their respective Section’s Major Championships. The Matches were created in 2017 to celebrate Paul Levy, PGA, who was completing his first year of a two-year term as President of The PGA of America. The 2026 Levy Cup Matches returned to where they first began, Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. In the first edition of the Matches, Team STPGA was victorious 14-10, but Team NTPGA would not be denied this time. They took a commanding 5-1 lead after Monday morning’s opening Four-Ball Matches and looked to keep rolling heading into the afternoon Foursomes Matches. Team STPGA steadied themselves as the Foursomes Matches finished 3-3, giving Team NTPGA an 8 to 4 lead after day one. With a STPGA win in the 9th Levy Cup Matches, Team NTPGA needed 4.5 points in Singles Matches to win the cup. They came out firing, winning the first three matches and never looked back. Team NTPGA dominated the Singles Matches 8 to 4, leading to the largest margin of victory in the history of the Levy Cup Matches – 16 to 8. “It was awesome watching these guys display great golf from both sides, and you know, Team NTPGA just showed out and played just some amazing golf,” said NTPGA Captain Miguel Aguilar. The record-setting victory in the Levy Cup continues an impressive run for the Northern Texas PGA, following back-to-back record victories in the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches. The streak began in 2024 with a commanding 20–4 victory on home soil, followed by a record-setting 15.5–8.5 victory on the road last year. The 10th Levy Cup Matches were supported by Club Car, Harlestons, Mizzen and Main, and Ping.
