Lohmeyer Holds Lead After Round One of Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship

DALLAS, Texas (August 12) – Royal Oaks Country Club hosted two Northern Texas PGA Major Championships this week, the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship and the inaugural Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship. Cameron Doan claimed the Senior title, and Jennie Park claimed the Women’s title. Cameron Doan, PGA director of golf at Preston Trail Golf Club, captured the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship after carding a 34-33–67, 4-under-par final round. He finished the Championship at 6-under-par. This victory marks Doan’s record fifth time winning the Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship, breaking out of the tie for all-time wins with John Sikes and Doug Higgins who have won the event four times. Doan’s previous wins came in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023. He has now captured 13 individual major championships, sixth most all-time, five major championship wins behind Perry Arthur who has 18 individual major championships. “Anytime I can bust out of a tie with John Sikes, I’m doing something pretty good, and he was standing on 18 green waiting to shake my hand when I came off. Classy guy. Classy move by a classy guy. It feels good,” Doan said. Doan went into the final round at 2-under-par, tied for third, but five birdies and a clean card on the back nine today were enough to secure his two-stroke victory. “Today, my goal was to match it [his first round score] and stay in the hunt until I got to the back nine, and if I got some good numbers, step on the gas. The golf swing felt better actually once the heat got turned up. I tightened up and synced up. I had zero fear in the last five holes, which is fun, a lot of fun, just trying to hit the right shot,” said Doan. This Championship served as a qualifier for players to earn a spot in the Senior PGA Professional Championship. Doan will lead five other NTPGA Professionals to Port St. Lucie, Florida, for the Senior PGA Professional Championship. On qualifying, Doan said, “Anytime you get to go play in a national championship, it’s a treat. And to represent our Section, we’re the best Section of 41, but I think I’m a little biased. I am proud to represent. Hopefully, someone can go get in the hunt and maybe win a golf tournament.” The Senior PGA Professional Championship is set to take place at PGA Golf Club on October 23-26, 2025. The six qualifiers and five alternates are listed below in order. Qualifiers: Cameron Doan, PGA director of golf at Preston Trail Golf Club Greg Gregory, PGA head professional at Southern Oaks Golf Club Brennan Little, PGA TOUR Brad Elder, PGA Life Member Stuart Hendley, PGA director of instruction at Dallas Athletic Club Todd McCorkle, PGA Life Member Alternates: John Sikes, PGA director of instruction at Eagle’s Bluff Country Club Rob Shields, PGA Member at the Winsford Group Paul Norris, PGA Life Member Brady Hawxhurst, PGA club fitter at 2nd Swing Golf - Dallas Daniel Walden, PGA head professional at Texas Star Golf Course This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA major championship was the third of four individual stroke play events that comprise the Rolex | XXIO Senior Points Challenge.

DALLAS, Texas (August 12) – Jennie Park, Associate at Gleneagles Country Club, claimed the inaugural Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship title, carding a final round 35-36–71. Park finished the Championship at 4-under-par, winning by six strokes at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. She began the final round tied for the lead with Kim Paez, PGA Member at Ping Inc., and her 1-under-par final round secured the win. This is Park’s first victory with the Northern Texas PGA since becoming an Associate at Gleneagles Country Club earlier this year. Park grew up playing on the Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour, before playing collegiately at TCU and Texas A&M University. “It feels awesome,” Park said. “As everyone knows, it is really hard to win in golf. It has been a couple of years since I’ve won a tournament, so it feels really good. It’s definitely a confidence booster after going back into competitive tournament play, so I’m extremely happy with this week.” Reflecting on her final round performance, Park said, "Today's ball striking was better, and I felt more comfortable on the greens, but I stuck to my normal game plan, same as yesterday. Even when I had a bad shot, I think I did really well recovering from it.” Park credited both her support network and her playing partners for her success. “I have a really good support system back at Gleneagles and with family and friends,” she said. “I’m really glad to be in a place where I’m supported and mentored along the way. I am super competitive, so I like to get competitive with people, and it definitely helps me play better. I had a really good group today and yesterday with the same girls. I got close with Angella and Kim, and I really thank them for being such a good group to play with.” This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA major championship is the fourth of five individual stroke play events that comprise the Woman Player of the Year points standings. The 22-player field competed for a purse of $7,500, and Jennie Park took home $1,050. The Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship was presented by A.PUTNAM.

DALLAS, Texas (August 11) – The inaugural Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship is led by Jennie Park, Associate at Gleneagles Country Club, and Kim Paez, PGA Member at Ping Inc. Both professionals are new to the Northern Texas Section and are playing in only their second event. They both carded opening rounds of 3-under-par, 69. Park shot an even-par 35 on the front nine before catching fire on the back with four birdies in her last six holes. “The front nine was a little bumpy. I wasn’t really confident with the swing, but luckily I was making a lot of putts. On the back nine I got the swing back together so I was just cruising,” said Park about her first round. Park grew up playing junior golf on the Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour before playing collegiate golf at TCU and Texas A&M University and now working in the golf industry. “Getting introduced to the golf business has been nice. It’s a different avenue for me to get to know everyone,” said Park about recently joining the PGA of America Associate program. Paez fired a 34-35–69. Her front nine featured three birdies in the first five holes as she jumped to the top of the leaderboard and stayed there for the rest of the day. “Shot by shot, focusing on the process,” said Paez when asked what her approach to the first round was. “The facility and this golf course is absolutely pure. The greens are just rolling amazing.” Two weeks ago Paez won the LPGA Professionals Championship in Tennessee, where she earned an exemption into the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She will try to add another win to her resume tomorrow. The day ended with a champagne toast in celebration of the inaugural round for the new Championship. This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA major championship is the fourth of five individual stroke play events that comprise the Woman Player of the Year points standings. The 22-player field is competing for a purse of $7,500, and the champion will take home $1,050. The Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship is presented by A.PUTNAM.
