Teams of Studebaker/Rhinehardt and Pearce/Wilson Capture Titles at National Car Rental Pro-Scratch Championship

NTPGA • April 18, 2017

DALLAS, TX – Two teams were named champions of the National Car Rental Pro-Scratch Championship. David Studebaker, assistant professional at Cross Timbers Golf Course, and his amateur partner Michael Rhinehardt claimed the 18-hole competition notching eight birdies and firing an 8-under par, 63. Shane Pearce, PGA assistant professional at Hurricane Creek Country Club, along with his amateur partner Nate Wilson captured the 36-hole competition with rounds of 64-67--131, 11-under par.

Because of inclement weather conditions that began Monday afternoon, the NTPGA Rules Committee declared the 2017 National Car Rental Pro-Scratch Championship two separate competitions to ensure a finish on Tuesday. The wave that teed off during the morning of Round 1 was its own 36-hole competition, and the wave that teed off in the afternoon of Round 1 was 18-hole competition. The purse was split between the two waves based on the number of teams in the wave.

During today’s morning wave, Studebaker and Rhinehardt (a) edged the team of Jason Daly, PGA director of golf at The Lakes at Castle Hills, and Ryan Grider (a) by one shot to claim the victory.

Pearce and Wilson (a) had a three-stroke victory over two teams, Ben Kern, assistant professional at Oeste Ranch Golf Course, and Derek Brown (a) as well as Tony Martinez, PGA director of golf at Keeton Park Golf Course, and Jeff Seibert (a).

The Four-Ball Stroke Play Northern Texas PGA major championship was conducted at Bent Tree Country Club and featured a field of 86 teams of one PGA professional teamed with one scratch amateur. The 36-hole competition had 38 teams and the 18-hole competition had 48 teams.

Teams were competing for a share of the $25,900 purse. Amateurs were awarded gift certificates. The National Car Rental Pro-Scratch Championship was presented by Adventures In Golf, AHEAD, AT&T Byron Nelson, Earth Networks, imavex, Mizuno USA and Volvik.
