Killeen Goes Back-to-Back at Midland Country Club

Steven Clements • July 19, 2022

MIDLAND, TX – JJ Killeen, PGA head professional at Red Feather Golf and Social Club, fired a 8-under-par final round to win the On The Rocks | Golf Pro Payments Western Championship. Killeen finished the Championship at 10-under-par and two shots ahead of the field.


Killeen started the day six shots back of the leader. “I knew that I had to shoot extremely low… This course is one that I am familiar with… you have to be strategic off the tee, but also hit some great shots,” said Killeen.


This is now Killeen’s third individual stroke play Major Championship in a row dating back to last September when he claimed the Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship. That event was also held at Midland Country Club. Killeen earned $4,000 for his victory today.


Stuart Hendley, PGA director of instruction at Dallas Athletic Club, captured the Senior Division after rounds of 38-33–71 and 36-32–68. He finished the Championship at 5-under-par and three strokes ahead of Rick Woodson, PGA instructor at Sherrill Park Golf Course.


Hendley is familiar with Midland, as he worked at Green Tree Country Club for over eight years before moving to Dallas. “I have lots of friends here and my wife’s family is from here… so it’s fun getting to come back,” said Stuart. 


This is now Hendley’s second win on the season and his third top ten finish. “Honestly going to the back nine I hadn’t looked at the scores and I was just thinking I needed to make a lot of birdies,” said Hendley. He will head back to Dallas with a $1,500 payday.


This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA Major Championship was the second of four individual stroke play events that comprise the Yamaha Golf-Car Company | Srixon / Cleveland Golf / Asics Player of the Year Points Challenge presented by Adventures In Golf.

The On The Rocks | Golf Pro Payments Western Championship was presented by ahead, AT&T Byron Nelson, Clippd, GT Golf Supplies, Midland Country Club, PGA TOUR and Turf Hound, Inc..

Headley and del Olmo Capture First Section Victories at Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship

By Steven Clements • September 17, 2025
LEWISVILLE, Texas (September 16) – Adam Headley, PGA head professional at Green Tree Country Club captured the Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship after a 6-under-par final round. His bogey-free 34-32–66 and a first round 69, got him to 9-under-par for the Championship and a one stroke victory. It also earned Headley an exemption into the 2026 THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Headley was playing in the third to last group and began the final round three strokes behind the leaders. He quickly fell further behind the lead after starting with three pars, until a birdie at the par-5 4th hole got things going. On the back nine it was a battle between Headley and Brian Norman, PGA instructor at Lakewood Country Club. Headley eagled the 12th hole and added two more birdies on 15 and 18 to close and post 9-under-par. “My goal today was to play the par fives 4-under. I accomplished that,” said Headley. “I don’t like to look at the leaderboard, but I looked at it going into 18 tee and had a feeling I was sitting pretty good there.” “Honestly I didn’t think I'd ever win one. Not because I'm not a good player but because we have so many good players in the Section. If I had to choose any tournament to win, it would be this one.” Headley earned $9,250 along with his exemption into THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. “I’ve been a golf pro for almost 20 years and now to be playing in a PGA TOUR event, I don’t care how I do, It’s going to be a blast. I’m super excited about it, it’s a dream come true.”

Upon achieving PGA of America membership in 1984, he took over as Head Professional and has been at the Richardson facility ever since. He is the only member to serve twice as President of the NTPGA (2006-07, ‘18-’19). Glanton played a key role in the PGA of America’s relocation to Frisco, Texas. He is a passionate advocate for junior golf, developing impactful programs like the Sherrill Park Learning Center and the Hawks junior golf team, which have introduced thousands of new golfers to the game; his leadership in the creation of “The Ronny” Golf Park on the PGA Frisco campus further expands community outreach and player development. Among his previous awards are PGA of America Golf Professional of the Year (2020), NTPGA Golf Professional of the Year (1999, ‘07, ‘19), NTPGA Bill Strausbaugh Award (2003-05, ‘08, ‘14) and NTPGA Merchandiser of the Year (1994), plus induction into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in 2022.

He’s also been a four-time contestant in the PGA Professional Championship, five-time contestant in the Senior PGA Professional National Championship and seven-time participant in the PGA TOUR Byron Nelson (now the CJ Cup Byron Nelson). Glanton is a three-time NTPGA Major Champion, six-time Senior Division Major Champion and a 17-time member of the NTPGA Joe Black Cup Team, which he has also captained three times.
