Flores and Holland (a) Lead the Srixon and Nike Pro-Scratch Championship

Two Teams Tied for Senior Division

Martin Flores, PGA, and Charlie Holland (a) lead the Srixon and Nike Pro-Scratch Championship by one stroke after 18 holes of play at Dallas Athletic Club’s Gold Course. 


Holland (a) is the defending champion from 2024, but because his previous partner, Jeff Barton, PGA director of instruction at Preston Trail Golf Club, is recovering from hip surgery, he had to find a new professional. “He’s a pretty good back-up partner. It’s always fun playing with Martin. We’ve known each other a long time,” said Holland.


The leading team turned in a bogey-free, 7-under-par round of 65. The round included five birdies and an eagle. “We didn't have any bogeys, which was really nice. If we can do that [tomorrow], it will be a good day,” said Flores.


Twelve teams are within three strokes of the leaders and will be vying for a chance at the title tomorrow.


The Championship features a field of 87 two-person teams competing in a Four-Ball Stroke Play format. Each team is comprised of one PGA Professional teamed with one scratch amateur golfer. The field is competing for a share of the $30,000 overall Championship purse.


Matt Rutter (a), partner of JJ Killeen, PGA general manager at SugarTree Golf Club,   made a hole-in-one today on the par-3, 5th hole from 208 yards with a 4-hybrid. Today’s ace marks his sixth career ace. “[It] landed probably 12-15 feet short and hit super soft and just rolled in like a putt,” said Rutter.

Two teams are tied for the lead in the Senior Division. The team of Stuart Hendley, PGA director of instruction at Dallas Athletic Club, and amateur partner Mark Motes (a), and the team of Cameron Doan, PGA director of golf at Preston Trail Golf Club, and partner Chip Carter (a)both carded rounds of a 5-under-par, 67.


Doan, the NTPGA President, said after the round, “The greens were tougher than I thought they would be. They are still new, so they are still firm. I really think they did a nice job with the renovation.”


His partner Chip Carter (a) played collegiate golf at SMU and captured a Southwest Conference Championship during his tenure. “He likes the action, so we feed off each other when we get in contention,” said Doan.


The two teams hold a two-stroke lead heading into tomorrow’s final round. Doan and Carter (a) will be in the morning wave, while Hendley and Motes (a) will play in the afternoon wave.


The Srixon and Nike Pro-Scratch Championship is presented by Adventures in Golf, BlueGolf, Dan Liscio & Donald Ross Sportswear, Flagstick Films, Jim Quinn's Finer Golf Products, Maui Jim, Perry Weather, Premier Greens and Vortex® Golf.

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.
