Taylor Coffelt • August 21, 2019

LEWISVILLE, TEXAS – Matt Lohmeyer, PGA teaching professional at GolfTEC - Montgomery Plaza, captured the Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship with rounds of 67-71—138, 6-under par. A 6-foot birdie putt on #18 was enough to seal the deal for him to capture his first Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship title and first NTPGA individual major championship.

Lohmeyer had a two shot lead heading into today’s final round, and with pressure all day from other competitors, he tried to stay focused on his game. He notched three birdies and an eagle combined with two bogeys and a double bogey for the day. With this victory, Lohmeyer took home a check for $3,250.

“It feels good! What a great first win.” Lohmeyer said of his first individual NTPGA major Championship win. “The final round of the Texas State Open I started to actually play shot by shot and it’s a one shot tournament for however many times I hit the ball. I used that [mindset] today, I didn’t look at the leaderboard until eighteen tee box so I had no idea where I was at [until then]. Unfortunately a double happened on seventeen but it’s just another hole, and I played eighteen like it’s just another hole.”

Lohmeyer will lead seven other PGA professionals who qualified today from the Northern Texas Section to the 53rd PGA Professional Championship set to take place April 26-29, 2020, at Omni Barton Creek Resort and Spa in Austin, Texas. Joining him will be Greg Gregory, 2018 NTPGA Professional Championship Champion and PGA head professional at Hidden Creek Golf Course, Josh Havard, PGA head professional at Rolling Hills Country Club, Thomas Devanna, PGA assistant professional at Tangle Ridge Golf Course, Nic Ishee, PGA assistant professional at Preston Trail Golf Course, Brian Norman, PGA teaching professional at Gleneagles Country Club, Gabe Reynolds, PGA teaching professional at TopGolf - Dallas, and Britt Patton, PGA director of golf at The Vaquero Club. PGA Member, Stuart Deane is already exempt into next year’s event due to his top 20 finish at this year’s PGA Professional Championship in South Carolina.

“I get to go back to the PGA Professional Championship and will hopefully have a better finish this time.” Lohmeyer also stated. “This will be my second time playing and the goal is to go out and win. Getting the win here at least prepares me to know how to win. I’m very excited to win this, and to finally get a win.”

The 53rd 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 PGA Professional Championship will earn berths into the 102nd PGA Championship, May 14-17, 2020, at Harding Park Golf Club, San Francisco, California.

Paez Prevails at Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship

Irving, Texas (August 25) – The Nelson Golf and Sports Club hosted two Northern Texas PGA Major Championships this week, the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship and the Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship. Clayton Friend claimed the Senior title, and Kim Paez claimed the Women’s title. Kim Paez, PGA Member at Ping Inc., claimed the Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship title, carding rounds of 70-72–142. Paez finished the Championship at 2-over-par, winning by four strokes. She began the final round one stroke back of Katie Flinn, director of instruction at Topgolf - Fort Worth, and her 2-over-par final round was enough to come from behind and secure the win. This is Paez’s first victory with the Northern Texas PGA since joining the section in 2025. “I stuck to my game plan this week, which was fairways and greens,” Paez said. “I think I missed only one or two fairways yesterday. I played pretty conservatively, but it paid off in the end.” Reflecting on her final round performance, Paez said, "It was a little bit windier today. It made me calculate a lot more on the tee shots.” It was an up-and-down round for Paez, but she hit her approach on hole 18 to two feet and tapped in for birdie. “The last three holes are pretty gettable, so I just had to remind myself that no matter how the round was going, I was going to have opportunities to close it out at the end.” Next week, September 3-5, Paez joins four other PGA female PGA Teaching, Coaching and Club Professionals from across the country to represent the United States in the fourth Women’s PGA Cup. They will take on Australia, Canada, Great Britain & Ireland, South Africa and Sweden in a 54-hole stroke play format at Carden Park Golf Resort in Chester, Cheshire, United Kingdom. “It is the biggest honor. When I first got my PGA Membership, and I found out about the PGA Cup, it became one of my biggest goals,” said Paez about making the team. “I was constantly checking the rankings, and coming into the KPMG [Women’s PGA Championship] and the LPGA Professionals Championship, I knew I had to lock in and give myself the best chance.” “I am so excited and so proud to represent the Northern Texas PGA as well, so hopefully I make everyone proud,” added Paez. 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 Kim Paez took home $1,050. The Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship was presented by A.PUTNAM and XXIO.
