Doan Wins Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship

Steven Clements • August 12, 2025

DALLAS, Texas (August 12) – Royal Oaks Country Club hosted two Northern Texas PGA Major Championships this week, the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship and the inaugural Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship. Cameron Doan claimed the Senior title, and Jennie Park claimed the Women’s title.


Cameron Doan, PGA director of golf at Preston Trail Golf Club, captured the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship after carding a 34-33–67, 4-under-par final round. He finished the Championship at 6-under-par.


This victory marks Doan’s record fifth time winning the Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship, breaking out of the tie for all-time wins with John Sikes and Doug Higgins who have won the event four times. Doan’s previous wins came in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023. He has now captured 13 individual major championships, sixth most all-time, five major championship wins behind Perry Arthur who has 18 individual major championships. 


“Anytime I can bust out of a tie with John Sikes, I’m doing something pretty good, and he was standing on 18 green waiting to shake my hand when I came off. Classy guy. Classy move by a classy guy. It feels good,” Doan said. 


Doan went into the final round at 2-under-par, tied for third, but five birdies and a clean card on the back nine today were enough to secure his two-stroke victory.       


“Today, my goal was to match it [his first round score] and stay in the hunt until I got to the back nine, and if I got some good numbers, step on the gas. The golf swing felt better actually once the heat got turned up. I tightened up and synced up. I had zero fear in the last five holes, which is fun, a lot of fun, just trying to hit the right shot,” said Doan. 


This Championship served as a qualifier for players to earn a spot in the Senior PGA Professional Championship. Doan will lead five other NTPGA Professionals to Port St. Lucie, Florida, for the Senior PGA Professional Championship.


On qualifying, Doan said, “Anytime you get to go play in a national championship, it’s a treat. And to represent our Section, we’re the best Section of 41, but I think I’m a little biased. I am proud to represent. Hopefully, someone can go get in the hunt and maybe win a golf tournament.” 


The Senior PGA Professional Championship is set to take place at PGA Golf Club on October 23-26, 2025. The six qualifiers and five alternates are listed below in order.


Qualifiers:

  1. Cameron Doan, PGA director of golf at Preston Trail Golf Club

Bruns And Walts Win 2026 KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship After Two Hole Playoff

By Erik Anderson • March 3, 2026
THE COLONY, Texas (March 2) – The team of Robert Bruns, PGA Head Professional at Trinity Forest Golf Club, along with partner Chase Walts, PGM Student at Methodist University who currently works as an assistant at Trinity Forest Golf Club won the 2026 KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship after a two hole playoff. The two carded a bogey-free, 12-under-par, final score after shooting 64 on Old American Golf Club and a 31 on the back nine of Tribute Golf Links. They bested the team of Spencer Dillard and Alastair Jones from Preston Trail Golf Club. The 27-hole, Four-Ball Stroke Play Championship was hosted at Golf Clubs at The Tribute for the sixth straight year. Teams played Old American Golf Club and the back nine of Tribute Golf Links. Bruns and Walts both had looks inside 10 feet on the second playoff hole, though it was Bruns who poured in the winning putt. “I knew he had it in the bag, so I think that made it much easier for me to just be free and let it go,” said Bruns. Walts recently became an assistant professional at Trinity Forest, and said, “Robert is such a huge mentor to me and my career already. I hope to learn from everything he knows and that goes for golf as well.” “It makes it much easier when you’re in the mix coming down the fairway and you have a great relationship with each other. At the end of the day you’re just having fun,” Bruns said after their victory. This is the first win for both Bruns and Walts in Section Major Championships. The pair earned $3,200 ($1,600 each) out of the record $32,000 total championship purse. The KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship was presented by Callaway Golf, Club Car, Evolve Golf, Landmark Golf Course Products, Range Servant, THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, and Winston Collection.
