PROSPER, TX – Brendan Richardson, instructor at Stonebriar Country Club and Ryan Shelburg (a) claim the 1st & 10th Tee Golf Energy Bar Pro-Junior Championship after a 12-under-par round of 60 at Gentle Creek Country Club. 


The duo won by a margin of three strokes after a 31-29–60. “Ryan had some big opportunities out there to hit some major drives and have wedges in…his putter was really solid throughout the day,” said Richardson when asked about his playing partner. ‘“Overall we just matched up really well”.


This year’s Championship featured 63 teams consisting of one PGA professional and one junior golfer between the ages of 7-19. The teams competed in a Four-Ball Stroke Play format. There was also a second division of the competition where PGA professionals and their children competed for another title.


That division was claimed by Ryan Lapuz, PGA head professional at The Cascades Country Club and his son Leo. They fired a round of 35-32–67 to finish at 5-under-par.


For the professionals in the field today there was a skins game with a $4,500 payout. Gabe Reynolds, PGA director of instruction at Topgolf Dallas, eagled the 6th and 18th holes to earn two skins and $3,000. The final skin and $1,500 was earned by Courtney Connell, PGA head professional at Mira Vista Country Club after a hole-out for eagle on the 14th hole.


The 1st & 10th Tee Golf Energy Bar Pro-Junior Championship was presented by AT&T Byron Nelson, PGA TOUR and SwingJuice.
