Sam Randolph and Vince Jewell Share Senior Division Title

DALLAS, Texas (June 11) – Jarred Jeter, PGA assistant professional at Midland Country Club, won the Prize Possessions | E-Z-GO Eastern Championship by three strokes at Cedar Crest Golf Course. Jeter recorded the lowest score in the last 19 years of the Championship's history by finishing at 12-under-par after rounds of 64-66–130.


Five weeks ago, Jeter was forced to withdraw from THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, an honor which he earned as the Section champion, because of a back injury. “Five weeks ago I couldn't get off the couch. It was that bad,” said Jeter.


Heading into today’s final round, Jeter had a one-stroke lead after a bogey-free first round. That lead was gone by the second hole after an early bogey, but he bounced back with birdies on the 8th, 9th and an eagle on the 10th hole.”I knew 10 was going to be a big hole, and I just got a really good number in my hand and basically hit it to a kick in [for eagle].”


This is Jeter’s second straight NTPGA Individual Stroke Play Major Championship victory dating back to September 2023 when he claimed the Section Championship at Odessa Country Club. He is headed back to Midland Country Club, the site of the next NTPGA Major Championship, with $4,190 for his victory. “I’m looking forward to playing a home game and hopefully getting a third one.”


The Senior Division finished with Co-Champions. Sam Randolph, PGA instructor at Mira Vista Country Club, and Vince Jewell, PGA instructor at Woodbridge Golf Club, each finished the Championship at 3-under-par, 139.


Randolph had the low round of the day in the Senior Division with a 4-under-par, 34-33–67. “Today was more solid. Only one bogey and five birdies. I played pretty good today, so it was fun,” said Randolph.


Jewell carded a 36-33–69, 2-under-par today. “I played steady, hit a lot of greens, hit a lot of fairways,” said Jewell. He accredited his play in part to the multiple practice rounds. “I’ve played here three times in the last three weeks. You play a golf course so many times, and you know where to hit it and where to miss it.”

Both players commented on playing historic Cedar Crest Golf Course this week. “It’s fun to come play here, the Tillinghast design from way back,” said Jewell. “I enjoyed the golf course. The layout is great,” added Randolph.


Both players earned $1,400 of the overall $50,000 purse, a tournament record as well


The Prize Possessions | E-Z-GO Eastern Championship was presented by Branded Bills, GolfStatus, GT Golf Supply Co, Levelwear, Nexbelt, PGA TOUR and THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

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.

I intend to build on it.” Thank you to all of the PGA of America Golf Professionals in our Section who attended these special and important events over the past few days.
