Open Division Final Round Play to Resume Tomorrow Morning

ROCKWALL, TX – Rick Woodson, PGA instructor at Sherrill Park Golf Course carded a final round 36-35–71, 1-under-par to win the Senior Division at the Prize Possessions | E-Z-GO Eastern Championship. 


Woodson began the day one stroke off the lead after an even-par first round. Speaking on his championship performance, Woodson said, “I hit it really well this week. It was some of the toughest conditions we have played in for a long time yesterday for about eight holes.” 


“It’s been a while,” said Woodson about being in the winner’s circle for the first time since the 2010 Section Championship. “Our Section is so competitive, great players at every level. So to win in this Section is really cool.”


The Senior Division was made up of 36 professionals aged 50 and over, playing for a separate title and purse of $12,800. Woodson earned $1,600 for his major championship victory and dedicated the win to his daughter.


Due to a cumulative three hours and 10 minutes of weather delays, the Open Division still has five holes to finish tomorrow. Final Round play for the Open Division will resume at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.


Brandon Bingaman, PGA assistant professional at Bent Tree Country Club and JJ Killeen, PGA director of golf at Red Feather Golf and Social Club and Katelyn Sepmoree, assistant professional at Willowbrook Country Club are tied for the lead at 3-under-par in the Open Division. Killeen birdied six of his last seven holes to finish with a 4-under-par, 68 in his final round before play was suspended due to darkness. He will wait to see if his stellar finish will hold up tomorrow morning.


This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA major championship is the first of four individual stroke play events that comprise the Yamaha Golf-Car Company | Srixon / Cleveland Golf / Asics Player of the Year Points Challenge presented by Adventures In Golf.

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. For a full list of PGA of America Hall of Fame members, click here. “The PGA of America is honored to recognize our 2025 Hall of Fame Class and celebrate the incredible impact they have had throughout their careers, inspiring thousands both on and off the course,” said PGA of America President and Master Professional Don Rea Jr., PGA Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona). “Whether they have won Major Championships, given thousands of lessons or captivated audiences with trick shots, each PGA Hall of Fame Member has played an essential role in shaping the game of golf as we know it today.” The 2025 PGA of America Hall of Fame Inductees fall under four induction categories: PGA of America Past President Category, PGA of America Golf Professional Category, Tour Player Professional Category and PGA of America Ambassador Category. Congratulations to Ronny on this momentous occasion!
