Steven Clements • February 27, 2024

THE COLONY, Texas (February 26) – Lee Rhind, PGA head professional at Midland Country Club and partner Jarred Jeter, PGA assistant professional at Midland Country Club captured the 2024 KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship after shooting 68 on Old American Golf Club and a 29 on the back nine of The Tribute then winning a two-hole playoff.


The 27-hole championship was hosted at Golf Clubs at The Tribute and was a Four-Ball Stroke Play event. Teams played Old American Golf Club and the back nine of Tribute Golf Links.


Rhind, the newly elected West Texas Chapter President was competing in the event with two separate teams and assistant professionals; Jarred Jeter and Dru Hein. Both teams tied for first place at 10-under-par after 27-holes to force a playoff. 


After both groups made par on the first playoff hole, Jeter made a four-foot putt for par on the second playoff hole to clinch the championship.


“As a team, the three of us played great all day. I think as much as me and Jarred ended up with the trophies, I think that this is more of a club win…very excited for our club and everyone today,” said Rhind about the victory.


Jeter echoed by saying, “It's a great win for the family and a great win for the club.”


This is Jeter’s second Section win in five months after winning the 2023 Section Championship in September and earning an exemption to play in THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. The upcoming PGA TOUR start is on his mind. “I think the guys have pushed me, especially Lee and Dru, to not wait until the Byron Nelson to get prepared for it. Start early, start getting in the gym to prepare to walk and play golf again but, it’s going to be a great experience and I’m looking forward to it,” said Jeter about his preparation.


The duo won $3,000 out of the $26,000 total championship purse.

The KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship was presented by Golf Clubs at The Tribute, Ahead, THE CJ Cup Byron Nelson, Club Car, Evolve Golf, Tagmarshal and Winston Collection.

Bruns And Walts Win 2026 KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship After Two Hole Playoff

By Erik Anderson • March 3, 2026
THE COLONY, Texas (March 2) – The team of Robert Bruns, PGA Head Professional at Trinity Forest Golf Club, along with partner Chase Walts, PGM Student at Methodist University who currently works as an assistant at Trinity Forest Golf Club won the 2026 KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship after a two hole playoff. The two carded a bogey-free, 12-under-par, final score after shooting 64 on Old American Golf Club and a 31 on the back nine of Tribute Golf Links. They bested the team of Spencer Dillard and Alastair Jones from Preston Trail Golf Club. The 27-hole, Four-Ball Stroke Play Championship was hosted at Golf Clubs at The Tribute for the sixth straight year. Teams played Old American Golf Club and the back nine of Tribute Golf Links. Bruns and Walts both had looks inside 10 feet on the second playoff hole, though it was Bruns who poured in the winning putt. “I knew he had it in the bag, so I think that made it much easier for me to just be free and let it go,” said Bruns. Walts recently became an assistant professional at Trinity Forest, and said, “Robert is such a huge mentor to me and my career already. I hope to learn from everything he knows and that goes for golf as well.” “It makes it much easier when you’re in the mix coming down the fairway and you have a great relationship with each other. At the end of the day you’re just having fun,” Bruns said after their victory. This is the first win for both Bruns and Walts in Section Major Championships. The pair earned $3,200 ($1,600 each) out of the record $32,000 total championship purse. The KBS TOUR Shafts Pro-Assistant Championship was presented by Callaway Golf, Club Car, Evolve Golf, Landmark Golf Course Products, Range Servant, THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, and Winston Collection.
