DENTON, Texas
– Chad Moscovic, PGA director of instruction at Brook Hollow Golf Club, captured the Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship with impressive rounds of 65-67—132, 10-under par. This win marks his second overall Individual Major Championship and second Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship.
Moscovic began the round sharing the lead with PGA head professional at Green Tree Country Club, Adam Headley, but by hole #9 he had jumped to the top of the leaderboard by two strokes. Defending champion Matt Lohmeyer, PGA teaching professional at GOLFTEC - Montgomery Plaza, started the final round one shot back of lead and also attempted to catch Moscovic, but couldn’t do so. Moscovic made birdies on #12 and #13, and cruised to a four shot victory and a first place check of $3,000.
“The win feels good and it was fun,” Moscovic said after his round. “[My] putter was solid these last couple of days, I didn’t miss many putts that I should have made, and I didn’t make a bogey until the fourteenth hole. It was really about minimizing the errors, which I did and I didn’t have any idea I was leading. I knew I was in [contention] for sure but I didn’t know I was ahead by three or four strokes. It was fun!”
The field was also competing for seven qualifying spots into the 54th PGA Professional Championship set to take place April 25-28, 2021 at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida. At the 54th PGA Professional Championship, the top 20 finishers will earn a spot into the 103rd PGA Championship at The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The 103rd PGA Championship is scheduled to be played May 20-23, 2021.
Moscovic, who has played in the National Championship three times, will lead six other PGA Professionals, who qualified today from the Northern Texas Section to the 54th PGA Professional Championship. Joining him will be Headley, as well as Gabe Reynolds, PGA teaching professional at TopGolf - Dallas, Cameron Doan, PGA head professional at Preston Trail Golf Club, Greg Gregory, PGA head professional at Hidden Creek Golf Course, Vince Jewell, PGA teaching professional at Woodbridge Golf Club, and Brandon Bingaman, PGA assistant professional at Bent Tree Country Club. Matt Lohmeyer, 2019 NTPGA Player of the Year, was already exempt for the 54th PGA Professional Championship via the “Section’s pick” which will be awarded annually, beginning in 2020, to the Northern Texas PGA’s reigning Player of the Year.
This 36-hole NTPGA Section major championship was the third of the four individual stroke play championships that comprise the Yamaha Golf-Car Company & Srixon / Cleveland Golf / XXIO / ASICS Player of the Year Points Challenge presented by Adventures In Golf. It also served as a qualifier to earn points to make the 2020 Yamaha Golf-Car Company & Srixon / Cleveland Golf Match Play Championship, Texas Joe Black Cup team, and Levy Cup team.
The Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship was presented by Club Car and OMEGA and supported by Titleist / FootJoy, NIKE, and TaylorMade. Supporting partners of the Championship were AT&T Byron Nelson, Golf Channel, and PGA TOUR. The Championship was conducted at Wildhorse Golf Club at Robson Ranch (South & North Courses), a 6,924-yard, par 71 layout located in Denton, Texas.
The Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship featured 99 PGA Members who were competing for a spot in the 54th PGA Professional Championship and a $26,000 projected purse.
Final results here.
DALLAS, Texas (November 3) — After two hard-fought days, the 10th Levy Cup Matches have concluded, and Team NTPGA has secured the victory in dominant fashion with a final score of 16 to 8 over Team STPGA. The Levy Cup is a Ryder Cup-style format tournament featuring teams represented by four Assistant PGA Professionals, four Senior PGA Professionals (any PGA classification, aged 50 and older) and four PGA Members (excluding A-8s and classifications not included in the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches) who qualified by earning points through their respective Section’s Major Championships. The Matches were created in 2017 to celebrate Paul Levy, PGA, who was completing his first year of a two-year term as President of The PGA of America. The 2026 Levy Cup Matches returned to where they first began, Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. In the first edition of the Matches, Team STPGA was victorious 14-10, but Team NTPGA would not be denied this time. They took a commanding 5-1 lead after Monday morning’s opening Four-Ball Matches and looked to keep rolling heading into the afternoon Foursomes Matches. Team STPGA steadied themselves as the Foursomes Matches finished 3-3, giving Team NTPGA an 8 to 4 lead after day one. With a STPGA win in the 9th Levy Cup Matches, Team NTPGA needed 4.5 points in Singles Matches to win the cup. They came out firing, winning the first three matches and never looked back. Team NTPGA dominated the Singles Matches 8 to 4, leading to the largest margin of victory in the history of the Levy Cup Matches – 16 to 8. “It was awesome watching these guys display great golf from both sides, and you know, Team NTPGA just showed out and played just some amazing golf,” said NTPGA Captain Miguel Aguilar. The record-setting victory in the Levy Cup continues an impressive run for the Northern Texas PGA, following back-to-back record victories in the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches. The streak began in 2024 with a commanding 20–4 victory on home soil, followed by a record-setting 15.5–8.5 victory on the road last year. The 10th Levy Cup Matches were supported by Club Car, Harlestons, Mizzen and Main, and Ping.
