PROSPER, Texas (July 21) – Corbin Renner, PGA assistant professional at Shady Oaks Country Club, and Henry Sellers (a) captured the 1st & 10th Tee Golf Energy Bar Pro-Junior Championship title. The pair carded a 33-31–64, 8-under-par, to secure a two-stroke victory.


The pair began their round on the 13th hole and with a birdie. Adding a birdie on the 16th and an eagle on the par-5, second hole, they were 4-under-par after eight holes. Six consecutive pars slowed the momentum down until a run of four straight birdies closed out the round and clinched the victory.


Renner said, “I knew on the last two holes if we could finish strong, we would be right there in the running.”


Sellers added, “I birdied two of the par threes coming in, so that was very important to get to 8-under. The greens were rolling really well. We were able to get some good reads and knock a few putts in. He added, “This is my first-ever team [Four-Ball] event. Corbin, being a conservative player, took a lot of stress off of me. He kept knocking in pars all day.”


Three teams tied for second place with rounds of 6-under-par, 66. That tie was broken via a scorecard playoff to determine the second and third-place teams. Jon Antunes, PGA director of instruction at Heart of Texas Golf Academy, and daughter Hannah Antunes (a) were awarded second place after a 32 on the back nine. Blake Bergeron, Associate at Gentle Creek Country Club, and Austin Randall (a) placed third.


The Championship featured 64 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 within the Championship where PGA professionals and their children competed for a separate title. The nine-team division was claimed for the second year in a row by the Antunes team.


For the professionals in the field today, there was a skins game with a $4,500 payout. Two skins were earned today. Renner made a birdie on hole 12, and Alex Motes, Associate at Sulphur Springs Country Club, made an eagle on the par-5, 18th. Both professionals earned $2,250.


The 1st & 10th Tee Golf Energy Bar Pro-Junior Championship was presented by CMC Design, PGA TOUR, and THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson.

Doan Wins Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship

By Steven Clements • August 12, 2025
DALLAS, Texas (August 12) – Royal Oaks Country Club hosted two Northern Texas PGA Major Championships this week, the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship and the inaugural Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship. Cameron Doan claimed the Senior title, and Jennie Park claimed the Women’s title. Cameron Doan, PGA director of golf at Preston Trail Golf Club, captured the Club Car | XXIO Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship after carding a 34-33–67, 4-under-par final round. He finished the Championship at 6-under-par. This victory marks Doan’s record fifth time winning the Northern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship, breaking out of the tie for all-time wins with John Sikes and Doug Higgins who have won the event four times. Doan’s previous wins came in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2023. He has now captured 13 individual major championships, sixth most all-time, five major championship wins behind Perry Arthur who has 18 individual major championships. “Anytime I can bust out of a tie with John Sikes, I’m doing something pretty good, and he was standing on 18 green waiting to shake my hand when I came off. Classy guy. Classy move by a classy guy. It feels good,” Doan said. Doan went into the final round at 2-under-par, tied for third, but five birdies and a clean card on the back nine today were enough to secure his two-stroke victory. “Today, my goal was to match it [his first round score] and stay in the hunt until I got to the back nine, and if I got some good numbers, step on the gas. The golf swing felt better actually once the heat got turned up. I tightened up and synced up. I had zero fear in the last five holes, which is fun, a lot of fun, just trying to hit the right shot,” said Doan. This Championship served as a qualifier for players to earn a spot in the Senior PGA Professional Championship. Doan will lead five other NTPGA Professionals to Port St. Lucie, Florida, for the Senior PGA Professional Championship. On qualifying, Doan said, “Anytime you get to go play in a national championship, it’s a treat. And to represent our Section, we’re the best Section of 41, but I think I’m a little biased. I am proud to represent. Hopefully, someone can go get in the hunt and maybe win a golf tournament.” The Senior PGA Professional Championship is set to take place at PGA Golf Club on October 23-26, 2025. The six qualifiers and five alternates are listed below in order. Qualifiers: Cameron Doan, PGA director of golf at Preston Trail Golf Club Greg Gregory, PGA head professional at Southern Oaks Golf Club Brennan Little, PGA TOUR Brad Elder, PGA Life Member Stuart Hendley, PGA director of instruction at Dallas Athletic Club Todd McCorkle, PGA Life Member Alternates: John Sikes, PGA director of instruction at Eagle’s Bluff Country Club Rob Shields, PGA Member at the Winsford Group Paul Norris, PGA Life Member Brady Hawxhurst, PGA club fitter at 2nd Swing Golf - Dallas Daniel Walden, PGA head professional at Texas Star Golf Course This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA major championship was the third of four individual stroke play events that comprise the Rolex | XXIO Senior Points Challenge.

Park Wins Inaugural Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship

By Steven Clements • August 12, 2025
DALLAS, Texas (August 12) – Jennie Park, Associate at Gleneagles Country Club, claimed the inaugural Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship title, carding a final round 35-36–71. Park finished the Championship at 4-under-par, winning by six strokes at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas. She began the final round tied for the lead with Kim Paez, PGA Member at Ping Inc., and her 1-under-par final round secured the win. This is Park’s first victory with the Northern Texas PGA since becoming an Associate at Gleneagles Country Club earlier this year. Park grew up playing on the Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour, before playing collegiately at TCU and Texas A&M University. “It feels awesome,” Park said. “As everyone knows, it is really hard to win in golf. It has been a couple of years since I’ve won a tournament, so it feels really good. It’s definitely a confidence booster after going back into competitive tournament play, so I’m extremely happy with this week.” Reflecting on her final round performance, Park said, "Today's ball striking was better, and I felt more comfortable on the greens, but I stuck to my normal game plan, same as yesterday. Even when I had a bad shot, I think I did really well recovering from it.” Park credited both her support network and her playing partners for her success. “I have a really good support system back at Gleneagles and with family and friends,” she said. “I’m really glad to be in a place where I’m supported and mentored along the way. I am super competitive, so I like to get competitive with people, and it definitely helps me play better. I had a really good group today and yesterday with the same girls. I got close with Angella and Kim, and I really thank them for being such a good group to play with.” This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA major championship is the fourth of five individual stroke play events that comprise the Woman Player of the Year points standings. The 22-player field competed for a purse of $7,500, and Jennie Park took home $1,050. The Lajitas Golf Resort Women’s Section Championship was presented by A.PUTNAM.
