Taylor Coffelt • August 20, 2019


LEWISVILLE, TEXAS – Matt Lohmeyer, PGA teaching professional at GolfTEC - Montgomery Plaza, leads the Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship after Round One. Lohmeyer posted an opening round of 5-under-par 67, notching an eagle and six birdies to sit atop the leaderboard heading into tomorrow’s final round. Lohmeyer will be vying for his first Northern Texas PGA individual major championship win. He is bringing some nice momentum into this event after finishing as the Low PGA Professional at the Tanos Exploration II / Patterson-UTI Drilling Texas State Open just a few weeks ago. He carded a 9-under in the final round of that event to take home the honors.

Sitting two shots back of the leader is 2018 Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship Champion Greg Gregory, PGA head professional at Hidden Creek Golf Course. Gregory finished the round at 3-under-par, with a total of five birdies for the day. Lohmeyer, Gregory and 2019 TPx Communications Western Champion Josh Havard, PGA head professional at Rolling Hills Country Club, will play together in tomorrow’s final pairing. They are set to tee off at 1:03 p.m.

The field is competing for eight qualifying spots into the 53rd PGA Professional Championship set to take place April 26-29, 2020, at Omni Barton Creek Resort and Spa in Austin, Texas. The PGA Professional Championship purse is $550,000, distributed among those who make the cut in the 312-player field. Golf Channel will televise all four rounds of the National Championship.

If eligibility is met and maintained, the low 20 scorers in 2020 will earn berths into the 102nd PGA Championship, May 14-17, 2020, at Harding Park Golf Club, San Francisco, California.

This 36-hole NTPGA Section major championship is the third of the four individual stroke play championships that comprise the Yamaha Golf-Car Company & Srixon / Cleveland Golf / XXIO Player of the Year Points Challenge presented by Adventures In Golf. It also serves as a qualifier to earn points to make the 2019 Yamaha Golf-Car Company & Srixon / Cleveland Golf / XXIO Match Play Championship, Texas Joe Black Cup team and Levy Cup team.

The Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship is presented by Cadillac, Club Car and OMEGA and supported by Titleist/FootJoy, NIKE and TaylorMade Golf. Presenting partners are Golf Channel and the PGA TOUR. The Championship is being conducted at The Lakes at Castle Hills, a 7,172-yard, par 72 layout located in Lewisville, Texas.

The PGA of America announced today that Ronny Glanton, PGA head professional at Sherrill Park Golf Course, will be inducted into the PGA of America Hall of Fame. Glanton, a native of Mineral Wells, Texas, began his career in 1981 as an Assistant Professional at Sherrill Park Golf Course in Richardson, Texas. 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. Glanton actively supports his colleagues, raising over $100,000 through pro-ams for PGA Members facing medical hardships. 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. The PGA of America Hall of Fame originated in 1940 at the suggestion of famed sportswriter Grantland Rice. It is the highest honor the PGA of America can bestow upon its membership or ambassadors of the game. For a full list of PGA of America Hall of Fame members, click here. “The PGA of America is honored to recognize our 2025 Hall of Fame Class and celebrate the incredible impact they have had throughout their careers, inspiring thousands both on and off the course,” said PGA of America President and Master Professional Don Rea Jr., PGA Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona). “Whether they have won Major Championships, given thousands of lessons or captivated audiences with trick shots, each PGA Hall of Fame Member has played an essential role in shaping the game of golf as we know it today.” The 2025 PGA of America Hall of Fame Inductees fall under four induction categories: PGA of America Past President Category, PGA of America Golf Professional Category, Tour Player Professional Category and PGA of America Ambassador Category. Congratulations to Ronny on this momentous occasion!
