Team of Aguilar/Watkins Capture Bridgestone Golf / AHEAD Pro-Junior Championship

Lantana, TEXAS – The 2017 Bridgestone Golf / AHEAD Pro-Junior Championship was conducted at Lantana Golf Club. The Championship featured a full field of 60 teams. Approximately 20 minutes after the 9:00 a.m. shotgun start, the event experienced an hour and 40-minute weather delay, but that did not stop the players from going low once play resumed at 11:00 a.m. Three teams finished at 8-under par, 64, and forced a three-hole, sudden death playoff to determine who took home the championship.

The team of Joshua Aguilar, assistant professional at Rockwall Golf and Athletic Club, and Matthew Watkins (a) captured first place honors. Brian Norman, PGA teaching professional at Gleneagles CC, and partner Sutton Price (a) took second; Danny Coughlan, PGA head professional at Abilene CC, and Maddi Olson (a) finished third.

Again for this year, the low PGA professional who teamed up with their child was recognized. There were a total of seven PGA professional and child teams. Taking home this honor was Paul Stankowski, PGA Life Member, and his son Joshua (a) who shot 6-under par 66.

The Four-Ball Stroke Play NTPGA major championship featured teams of one PGA professional teamed with one junior golfer between 7-19 years of age.

The top three teams as well as the Low PGA professional and child team took home crystal trophies.
