Six Qualify for National Championship This Fall

DALLAS, Texas (June 18) – Brennan Little, PGA, won the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship at Lakewood Country Club. Little finished at 2-over-par after rounds of 70-74–144 and claimed his first NTPGA Individual Section Major Championship title. 


After a triple-bogey on the second hole, Little finished the Championship with a one-stroke victory. An up-and-down birdie from the greenside bunker on the par-5 17th hole is what propelled Little into the top spot late this afternoon. “I knew I was somewhat near the lead, but I didn’t look. It wasn’t going to change how I played,” said Little.


“I’m quite happy with how I played. I couldn’t be happier to win. I actually rolled it well, but the greens are really tricky here. There’s just not a lot of straight putts,” he said.


This Championship served as a qualifier for players to earn a spot in the Senior PGA Professional Championship. Little, who caddies on the PGA TOUR for Gary Woodland, will lead five other NTPGA Professionals to Sunriver, Oregon, for the Senior PGA Professional Championship. “It’s fantastic! I love competing and the Section. I’m really looking forward to it,” said Little.
