CARROLLTON, TX –  Brian Norman, PGA instructor at Lakewood Country Club and amateur partner Bobby Massa (a) win the 2023 Srixon / Cleveland Golf / Asics Pro-Scratch Championship at Maridoe Golf Club. The duo finished at 11-under-par after rounds of 67 and 66.


Massa (a), who made it to the quarterfinals of the U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship this year, got the pair started off hot with a chip-in for birdie on the first hole today. They then birdied four of their next five holes. “We just got off to a good start,” said Massa. “I chipped in from the front of the green on one and that set the tone. After that he [Norman] made a chip-in on three and we were off to the races.”


Speaking of his partner Norman laughingly said, “It was a last minute addition. I’ve known Bobby over the years…he’s a great human being and an incredible player and we’ve become pretty good buddies. It’s been a lot of fun.” For their Open Division victory Norman earned $1,200 and Massa (a) earned a $1,000 gift certificate to the Maridoe Golf Club pro-shop.


In the Senior Division Brennan Little, PGA and partner Alan Abbott (a) finished at 8-under-par to claim the title. A slow start on day one was bolstered by a  late charge in the final round. They birdied four of the last five holes today to card a 34-32–66 and win by two shots. Little earned $500 and Abbott (a) received a $500 gift certificate.


The Srixon / Cleveland Golf / Asics Pro-Scratch Championship was presented by Adventures In Golf, BlueGolf, Dan Liscio & Donald Ross Sportswear, Jim Quinn’s Finer Golf Products, Maui Jim, Perry Weather, Premier Greens, Talley Riggins Construction Group and THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

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.

Congratulations to Ronny on this momentous occasion!
