GRAPEVINE, Texas (May 30, 2025) – Sadie Englemann of Austin, TX, won the 2025 Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open. Rounds of 67-65-72–204, 12-under-par, were enough for Englemann to win by two strokes and claim her first professional victory.


Englemann started her round with three pars before making an eagle on the par-5 fourth hole and increasing her lead to seven strokes. The large lead would not last as a bogey on the sixth hole and birdies by the chasing pack decreased her lead.


Angela Stanford, a former Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour member and the 2026 Team USA Solheim Cup captain, was one of the players chasing Englemann’s lead.


“I knew if anyone was going to chase me down, it was going to be her. Just playing alongside her is cool too because she has made a mark on golf, and I know she is going to be the Solheim Cup captain next year, so that’s even cooler,” said Englemann about Stanford’s final round charge.


A few late birdies on the back nine for Englemann allowed her to head to the 18th tee only needing a bogey to win the Championship. She made a routine two-putt for par and etched her name in Texas Women’s Open history.


When asked what it means to win the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open, Englemann said, “Phew. I don’t think it has quite sunk in yet just because, I don’t know, the last nine holes were pretty stressful, but it’s really special. Like I’ve said previously, playing at home is unreal, and being able to get my first professional win in Texas is even more special.”


With her victory today, Englemann earned $12,500, a crystal trophy, a pair of custom-painted boots courtesy of RTown Art Gallery, and an exemption into the Epson Tour’s Great Lakes Championship next month. 


Thanks to the new partnership between the ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour and the Northern Texas PGA, the exemptions were made possible. Hailey Jones of Dallas, TX, who finished T2, also earned an Epson Tour exemption today.

Mia Nixon (a) of Canton, TX, was awarded the Championship’s low amateur honor. She carded rounds of 72-66-73–211, 5-under-par, and finished in a tie for eighth place. This is the fifth year in a row that she has played in the Championship.


“It’s been great. It gets better every single year we come out. It’s organized super well. The course is always in great condition. They (NTPGA) tailor everything to the players, and it’s just amazing to be out here and be a part of it,” she said about the Championship.


Nixon (a) is also a former Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour member and reflected on her junior days saying, “I think it just gets you into competition. Fighting for a spot. I mean, even in college you have to fight for your spot to play on a team, play in these big events, and it just gives you a background to kind of lean on in tough times or shaky situations. It’s great to grow up in competition, especially NTPGA. It’s been my life for a long time.”

Two college scholarships were also awarded today after play to two Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour members. Chloe Sirkin of Grapevine, TX, was awarded the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open Scholarship totaling $5,000. Landry Addison of Dallas, TX, was awarded the $2,500 ANNIKA Foundation scholarship.


Addison said she “hopes to be playing in this event next year,” and Sirkin competed in the Championship this year and last year.


Thanks to a multi-year partnership with Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau, the Championship will return to Grapevine Golf Course for the third consecutive year in 2026.

GRAPEVINE, Texas (May 28, 2025) – Sadie Englemann of Austin, TX, and Siyan Chen, of Irvine, CA, share the lead after round one of the Destination Grapevine Texas Women’s Open. Both players carded a 5-under-par round of 67 and hold a one stroke lead. Speaking on her round Englemann said, “Putting was super good today. I was hitting a lot of greens and making the putts. I actually did struggle with my driver; I took two water balls, but made pars, so it ended up being fine, so the putting was saving me today.” This is Englemann’s third time playing in the Championship. She previously competed in 2020 and 2021 as an amatuer. “I played it when I was a senior in high school, and I’ve been wanting to play it each year as an amateur, except I’ve been in college. I just wanted to come here and play the Texas Women’s Open,” said Englemann. Since then, she helped the Stanford Cardinals claim two national championships (2022 & 2024), and she turned professional this spring. She has competed in three ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour events and placed in the top 10 in each. Siyan Chen is in her second full year competing on the ANNIKA Women’s All Pro Tour (WAPT). In 2023, she turned professional after a collegiate career at the University of Illinois. She has 12 top 10 finishes during her time on the WAPT. Chen spoke about playing in the Championship for the first time saying, “I’ve played a lot of WAPT tournaments before this one, so I wanted to get some points for the Race 2 Qualifying. I wanted to test out my game. Hopefully, I get into some Epson tournaments later in the summer.” “I would say my approach shots were decent. It set me up for some good birdie putts. My putting was good today, so I was able to take advantage of the putts,” said Chen about her round one play. 2026 Team USA Solheim Cup captain Angela Stanford carded a 36-35–71 to finish at 1-under-par. Stanford, who is a Fort Worth, TX, native and former Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour member, is playing in the Championship for the third-straight year. “Honestly, I wanted to come back because I actually enjoyed the golf course. I just think you guys run a great tournament. It’s just a great event. I live 35 minutes away, and I love playing. I love to play competitive golf. Just because you age out of one tour doesn’t mean you stop trying to compete. I thought it was a great event last year, and everybody is so friendly, even the guys here at the Grapevine Golf Course, very welcoming. It’s easy to come back and play great events,” said Stanford about returning to play in the Championship. Round two will begin tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. with tee times beginning on the #1 and #10 tees. After the conclusion of round two, the field will be cut to the low 50 players and ties. The field is competing for a $75,000 Championship purse with the champion earning $12,500 for their victory on Friday. The top two finishers will earn exemptions into the Epson Tour’s Great Lakes Championship. Grapevine Golf Course (Pecan/Mockingbird) Par: 36-36–72 Yardage: 6,334 yards View the current results HERE
