Doan Claims Club Car Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship

NTPGA • August 28, 2018

Grapevine, Texas – Finishing with four birdies for the day, Cameron Doan, PGA head professional at Preston Trail Golf Club, captured the Club Car Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship. Doan claimed his first Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship, and first victory as a senior professional, with rounds of 68-69—137, 7-under par. He took home a $1,700 check for his victory.

“I turned 50 in April, so it was the first time I teed it up as a senior,” Doan said. “I enjoyed playing a shorter golf course, irons in the par 5’s is always fun. It was very relaxed, just glad to be out playing golf with friends.”

Paul Norris, PGA teaching professional at Hawks Creek Golf Club, attempted to apply pressure to Doan during the final round as the two were in the final grouping together, but his 2-under round for the day was not enough to over come Doan's great play. Norris finished in second with round of 69-70--139.

Qualifying for the 2018 Senior PGA Professional National Championship was held in conjunction with the Club Car Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional
Championship. Thirty-three professionals of the 53-man field attempted to qualify this week. Doan will lead five others to represent the Northern Texas PGA Section at the Senior PGA Professional National Championship to be held October 25 – October 28 at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida. They include Norris, along with Bruce Smith, PGA director of instruction at Black Belt Golf Academy, Stuart Hendley, PGA director of instruction at Dallas Athletic Club, Sam Randolph, PGA director of instruction at Mira Vista Country Club, and Henry Cagigal, PGA assistant professional at Rockwood Golf Course.

Doan also commented on qualifying for the National championship, saying, “It’s always fun to get a chance to qualify for a major [championship], that’s why we all go. That would be what I’m looking forward to the most.”

The 2018 Club Car Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship, supported by GolfAdvisor.com and John Deere, was a 36-hole stroke play event contested on the Pecan and Bluebonnet Courses at Grapevine Golf Course, a 6,671-yard, par 72 layout located in Grapevine, Texas. The field competed for a total purse of $11,000.
