Lecuyer Leads After Round One of the Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women's Open at Rolling Hills Country Club

NTPGA • July 7, 2016

ARLINGTON, TX – Christina Lecuyer of Conway, Arkansas, fired a 66, 5-under-par, to take the lead after the first round of the Energy Producers, Inc. Texas Women’s Open at Rolling Hills Country Club. Lecuyer carded one eagle, five birdies and two bogeys during her round for nine-hole totals of 35-31.

"Just getting back in the winners circle would be really good. I have not won since college and college was a long time ago," Lecuyer chuckled. "I don't play a lot of tournaments so today I just tried to come into it just completely calm. Just trying to realize that everything happens for a reason and I've been playing really good, so if I can stay calm I can definitely win. There's no question about it."

She will take a four stroke lead into tomorrow’s second round over 2007 champion Shannon Fish of Spring, Texas. Fish had a solid opening round, as she was the only other competitor who finished under par for the day with a 70 (-1).

Fish stated after her round, “My goals for the next couple days are to have fun. I have a lot of family here and I have a good friend on the bag. My parents don't ever get to see me play professionally, but they're here this week because it is in Texas, which is really important to me, so it'd be great for them to see me win again. I'm just going to take it one hole at a time, and hopefully the wind dies down a little bit for us but, if it doesn't, just play in it again and have a good time, and make some putts."

Also during the first round, Alexandra Schies (a) of Mansfield, Texas, notched a hole-in-one on hole #4. She hit a 6-iron 149 yards for her ace. The hole-in-one propelled Schies to an even par finish, 71. She and Megan Thothong (a) of Dallas, Texas, who also carded a 71 today, sit tied for 3rd for the championship and are atop the low amateur leaderboard.

The 60 professionals in the field are competing for a share of the projected $30,000 overall purse. The 81 amateurs are competing for the Low Amateur award and a crystal trophy. The top five amateurs will receive gift certificates.

The entire field is also competing for an LPGA Tour exemption. The 2016 Champion will receive an exemption into the 2017 Volunteers of America Texas Shootout.

The 54-hole stroke play event features a field of 141 top playing professionals and amateurs competing at Rolling Hills Country Club in Arlington, Texas. This is the third year for Rolling Hills Country Club to play host to the championship.

Round One Results

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.”

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.
