Red River Shootout - WinStar

7 of 10 Flight Champions previous Major Winners

Golf Channel Am Tour Staff, Thackerville, OK (June 30,2013)  WinStar Golf Club, part of the WinStar World Casino complex located just north of the Red River in Oklahoma played host to the second Red River Shootout.  Unlike last years sweltering heat, a cool front blew in to welcome the players to an 86 degree day on Sunday.  Similar to last year the scores went low with a lack of normal strong southerly winds and great course conditions. 

32 National Championship invitations were given to the top three and ties, with 12 of those players already qualified through Major finishes this year, and of the 10 Champions crowned only three became first time Major Champions as seven became or were already multiple Major winners.  While, $1,200 was raised for David Feherty's Troops First Foundation.
  
 
 
RESULTS:
 
 

Championship Flight:   Southlake, TX member Justin Lee led from the beginning for his third win on tour and first since his promotion to the Championship Flight in 2009.  Lee started out his weekend with a one under par 71 and held on to the lead for his second Major Championship win, the first coming at the rain shortened 2009 TEXAS OPEN-REGIONAL MAJOR at Castle Hills.  First year tour member, Sean Skellenger of Dallas, TX came to the final round with an eight stroke deficit, carded six birdies on the day and finished in the runner up spot just two strokes back.  After a runner up finish at the Western Open earlier in June,  Houston Tour player Travis Nichols went even par on his final nine, with the help of three birdies,  to grab the third place finish.
 

Palmer Flight:  Craig Hart of Killeen, TX picked up his second win on tour and first Major Championship with just one stroke to spare.  Starting the final day tied in the second spot with Martin Nealey of The Woodlands, TX, Hart got his final advantage with an even par front nine, then the pair finished the back +2.  Nealy ended the weekend two strokes ahead of, Fort Hood, TX member Jake Morton.  Morton a winner at the 2013 Texas Open at Horseshoe Bay led after the first day, maintained his lead on the front nine, but was relegated to third after struggling on the back nine.
 

Senior Palmer Flight:  Cypress, TX resident Traylor Sells put his foot on the gas early, firing a career low round -4 / 68, with the help of five birdies on the first day and never looked back. Sells recorded a flight low round on day two to get his seventh win on tour and second Major Championship win.  Five strokes back, Dallas Tour member Sean Fenton of Fort Worth, TX maintained his runner up finish with eight birdies on the weekend.  Robert Lippert of Copperas Cove, TX backed up his third place finish at the 2012 Texas Open at Horseshoe Bay to close the door on any further National Championship qualifications.
 

Hogan Flight:  With a one stroke over night lead,  Greg Hawkins of Argyle, TX widened the gap on Sunday coming to the clubhouse with an even par 36 on his back nine for his third win on tour and second Major Championship of the year.  Hawkins a winner at both his Major starts, finished six strokes clear of Broken Arrow, OK resident Allen Sawvel.  Runner up Sawvel carded his best Major finish and solidified his National Championship qualification with another Oklahoma Tour member Brandon McCool of Edmond, OK rounding out the top three.
 

Senior Hogan Flight:    Bill Mathews of Houston, TX started his second day three strokes back, went out on his front nine in even par and finished the round knotted up with Edmond, OK first round leader, Bud Surber.  Mathews would finish off the victory on the first playoff hole for his sixth win of the year and fourth Major Championship of his career.  Surber, the 2013 Texas Open at Horseshoe Bay Champion finished second with fellow Edmond, OK member Tim Mathis and Bob Hunter of Lee's Summit, MO sharing the third place finish and final National Championship qualifications.
 

Sarazen Flight:  In his 18th attempt at a Major Championship, Kirby Rogers of Muldrow, OK finally got to the top in his home state.  Rogers, who has had runner up finishes in a couple of previous majors recorded two consistent rounds to make up a first day four stroke deficit for his second win of the year.  Edmond, OK resident, Imran Siddiqi birdied five holes on opening day and ended up in the runner up spot for his best finish in a Major.  Dallas, TX native,  Caleb Brown now living in Cottonwood, AZ made the trip to punch his ticket to the National Championships, three strokes back of Siddiqi.
 

Senior Sarazen Flight:  Jones, OK resident Stan Wilson is now 2 for 3 on the season when holding and or sharing the overnight lead at a Major, but it took more than 36 holes this time.  Derek Drake of Wichita Falls, TX shared the overnight lead, got behind one stroke on the front nine, but took the lead with a birdie on the par 3 -17th.  Wilson would then birdie the final par 5 - 18th to knot it back up and force a playoff.   After two extra holes, Wilson would par the 18th, which was just enough for his third win on the year and second Major Championship.  Hill Country Tour member Gregg Smith of Austin, TX had the low flight round on the final day to get within one of the pair, setting up his fifth trip to the National Championships.
 

Jones Flight:    Nick Easen of Keller, TX was a wire to wire winner and became another multiple Major Champion of the day.  Easen, the 2011 TEXAS OPEN at Horseshoe Bay Resort Champion, held on to his five stroke, day one advantage for his second win in as many attempts. Narrowing the gap, Robert Glittenberg of Rowlett, TX matched his best runner up finish for the second spot, three strokes ahead of Coy Dayton of Buda, TX.

Senior Jones Flight:   Five strokes back and tied with five players after the Saturday round,  Tom West of Giddings, TX shot the low flight round of the weekend to jump into a sudden death playoff with first round leader, Arkansas Tour member Dennis Baxter of Bella Vista, AR.  Two playoff holes later, Baxter the 2011 The Payne Stewart Championship winner picked up his third win of the year and second Major.  Two strokes back of the pair, Tom Stockton of Euless, TX matched his third place finish at the 2013 Texas Open at Horseshoe Bay to round out the top three.

Snead Flight: Larry Tolson of McKinney, TX started the final round one stroke back, fired a flight low round in the wind with the help of a birdie on the par 5 - 18th to pick up his first Major Championship.  Despite taking two strokes off her first round leading score on Sunday,  Marcy Glidden of Brookshire, TX the 2013 Myrtle Beach Classic Champion, slid into second place by one stroke.  Doyle Fleming of Haslet, TX and Bakersfield, CA member Don Risner shared the third place honors.

Fairview Classic @ Heritage Ranch Golf and Country Club

Scott R Chilcutt, McKinney, TX (June 9, 2013)  The Fairview Classic at Heritage Ranch continued into the Summer Series points and started what's bound to be a hot series.   Morning thunderstorms across the metroplex delayed starting times by 30 minutes or so, but the good news was the delay and course drainage kept the players off the cart paths.  With summer time heat underway and spring's winds subsiding it looks like we will be out with the ice towels next time around. 

Mike Adcock of Saginaw, TX  took home his second Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving of the year after winning earlier at the Frisco Lakes Challenge in March.


RESULTS:

Championship Flight:  John Bohling of Highland Village, TX came to the club house in even par on the back nine with a birdie on the par 5 -11th to grab his second win on tour.  Two strokes back, first time tour player Drew Ireland of Dallas had a tough start on the front nine, but carded three birdies on the back to make up ground and finish in the runner up spot.   One stroke back of Ireland, Dallas Webster of Wylie, TX rounded out the top three.

Palmer Flight:  Grandbury, TX member Brack Blackwood went one under on the final two holes to seal his eighth win on tour and second on the season by two strokes.  The pair of Cameron Kirkpatrick of Dallas and Frisco, TX first year member Steve Ward swapped 40, 41's to share the second place honors.  

Senior Palmer Flight:   Sean Fenton of Fort Worth, TX defended his 2012 Heritage Ranch Classic win for his eighth win on tour and third of the year.  Garland, TX member Kem Albritton went one under par over his last five holes to tie up the second place finish with Terry Wooten of Grapevine, TX.  It was Wooten's best finish in his two years on tour.

Hogan Flight:  Three players, Gabriel Brisco  of Mesquite, TX,  Denton, TX member Cory Womack and Gregory Stairs of Mansfield, TX knotted up with the low score and took extra holes to finalize the win.  In the largest flight of the day, Stairs played the back nine in -1 on three birdies.  He then went from looking at a win, to self imposing a penalty that was mistakenly thought to be DQ, to what would become a two stroke penalty, to a playoff.  After two extra holes, Brisco would come out on top to become the second player on the day to defend his 2012 Heritage Ranch Classic title for his fourth win on tour and second of the year.

Sarazen Flight:  After stringing together a series of five top three finishes and eight top five finishes, Rockwall, TX player Joseph Roy finally broke out for his first win on the year and second on tour. Five strokes back, George Peddy of Bedford, TX added a runner up finish to one earlier in the year at Indian Creek and Willie Dozier of Garland, TX rounded out the top three for his best finish on the season.

Senior Sarazen Flight:  Bob Moreau of Rockwall, TX and Frisco, TX resident Jamie Sansom, playing out of the same cart, swapped better nines but in the end, Moreau held on for a one stroke win, his sixth on tour and first of the year.  One stroke back of Sansom the pair of Bob Eustice of  Garland, TX and Dallas member Rick Allaire shared the third place finish.

Jones Flight:  On a self promoted hiatus from the Jones Flight, Nick Easen of Keller, TX decided he should move back if he wanted to get to the Nationals and be competitive.  In his first event since the eligible move, Easen picked up his ninth win on tour and second on the year.  One stroke back Trecia Wood of Frisco, TX recorded her third runner up finish on the year and shared that honor with second time player Jeff Workman of Fort Worth, TX.

Senior Jones Flight:   Ray Hund of Plano, TX became a first time winner on tour.  Hund, with a birdie on the par 5 - 11th hole edged out Oklahoma Tour member K.C. Montgomery of Fairview, OK by a single stroke.  Montgomery's back nine 44 kept his runner up finish in tact by one stroke over Houston Tour member Lu Cormier of Missouri City, TX.

Snead Flight:  Saginaw, TX player Mike Adcock started his day with a birdie on the par 4 -10th hole to record his second win on tour and extend his Order of Merit Points lead.  Local McKinney, TX member Larry Tolson on the Major trail since April, with a recent fourth place finish at the Southeast Amateur at Chateau Elan took the runner up spot.  Oklahoma Tour member, Sammie Martin of Elgin, OK finished four strokes back in the show position.

Scott R Chilcutt, Fort Worth, TX (June 1, 2013)  Marking the 1st day of the Dallas Tour Summer Series Points to go along with the National Championship eligibility requirements for one round after June 1st, The Fort Worth Championship @ Waterchase Golf Club stayed relatively dry for the dismal forecast and skies.

Brisk southerly winds from Friday laid down to make a short layout from some of the tees, add to that the mid round northerly front that produced some light rain showers, everyone finished dry and in the light of day.

Vaughn Jackson and Gary Chrisman went to a scorecard playoff for the Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving where Chrisman picked up his second special award in as many attempts.




RESULTS:

Palmer Flight:  Cameron Kirkpatrick of Dallas, TX would eagle his ninth hole of  the day the par 5 -18th and carded a career tying low round 76 for his first win on tour.  Grandbury, TX member Brack Blackwood was just one stroke back with Ivan Zweig following right behind Blackwood to round out the top three.

Senior Sarazen Flight: Wichita Falls, TX member Derek Drake went out in +3 with a birdie on the par 3 -12th, but opened the door on his back nine for Mark Donohue of Lewisville, TX, that would require extra holes to seal the deal.  On the third playoff hole, Donohue picked up his first win on tour.  One stroke back a hard charging Rockwall, TX resident Bob Moreau played his final nine in even par on two birdies to complete the top three.

Bobcat Open - Texas Star 2013

Scott R Chilcutt, Euless, TX (May 19, 2013)  One of the local qualification sites for the 2013 US Open, Texas Star Golf Course played to its tag line, "World Class Golf.... Texas Style".  Constant and strong southern winds swirled through the natural and heavily wooded areas creating more than normal club selection questions. 

While we played all the native areas as "environmental protected and lateral hazards" (The US Open qualifier played them as OB), the fact that seven groups were penalized for pace of play violations, many searching for balls that couldn't be played even if found, it's clear we'll make changes for our next Bobcat Open.  At one time we played those areas with a two stroke penalty if you entered, we hoped such a penalty wouldn't be necessary, but it appears it is.

Wichita Falls, TX player Derek Drake carded a career low round to pick up the Tournament Champion Trophy, presented by Carlisle's Engraving.


RESULTS:

Championship Flight:    Scott Blackshear of Hideaway, TX birdied the par 5 -18th to get himself into a playoff with Highland Village, TX member John Bohling.  Bohling got into trouble on the 5th and 6th holes, but bounced back with a birdie and went even par over his final twelve.  Coming off the birdie in regulation, Blackshear won in extra holes, recording his third win on tour and second in as many attempts.  Oklahoma Tour member James Fowler from Checotah, OK, birdied the par 4 -1st to trail the pair by a stroke and rounded out the top three.

Senior Championship Flight:  Lynn Cormier, traveling Houston Tour member from Missouri City, TX made eagle on the par 5 - 7th hole to take charge of a slow start.  One over par on the back nine, Cormier added a birdie on the par 4 -17th en route to a one stroke win, his second on the year.  John Long  from Allen, TX started out the back nine with a birdie on the par 5 -10th  to finish second for the second time this year, with Hill Country member, Kyle Lewie  of Waco, TX finishing in the third spot.

Palmer Flight:  First year player, John Padilla of Arlington, TX played the back nine in +3 including a birdie on the par 3 -16th, but lost his front nine lead by a stroke to open the playoff door for Amarillo, TX member Ben Burney.  With the course unavailable for extra holes due to darkness,  Burney came out on top of the scorecard playoff for his fifth win on tour and first since the 2011  Championship @ TPC Craig Ranch.  Jeff Bolton of Midlothian, TX finished three strokes back for third place honors.

Senior Palmer Flight:  Drawing the short straw this week, the Senior Palmer flight went off last and mid way through the back nine it became apparent that they wouldn't finish, thus reverting to a 9 hole event.  Kem Albritton of Arlington, TX picked up his sixth win on tour and first of the year.  Albritton went out in two over on birdies at the par 4 - 4th and par 5 - 7th.  Two strokes back, Irving, TX member Neal Iverson finished second, his best finish of the year with two previous third place honors.  One stroke back, Collier Nolte of Sour Lake, TX finished in the show position.

Hogan Flight:   Greg Hawkins of Argyle, TX recorded his first local win on tour to go with his Texas Open at Horseshoe Bay Championship earlier in the season. Hawkins played the back nine in three over par to stay two stokes clear of a pair in the T2 finish.  Todd Barfield of Dallas, TX and traveling Hill Country member Derrick Matthews  of Killeen, TX shared the second place honors, each with birdies on the par 5 - 7th.

Senior Hogan Flight:  Mansfield, TX resident Gregory Stairs snatched his fifth win on tour.  Stairs went birdie, par on the last two holes to stay ahead of two players tied for the runner up honors.  Two strokes back, visiting Oklahoma Tour member Hank Chang  of Lawton, OK and Trophy Club, TX player Jalil DaneshFar finished in the second spot.

Sarazen Flight:  Making the trip with a group of other Hill Country Tour members, John Heintz of San Antonio, TX had the longest drive and made the best of it.  Heintz started out rough with a triple on the first, reacted with a birdie on the par 4 -2nd, added a birdie on the par 5 - 10th  to finish one stroke ahead of Rockwall, TX player Joseph Roy.  Roy with his second runner up finish in as many attempts, leads the Order of Merit points among the Dallas Sarazen Flight.  Visiting Oklahoma Tour member Imran Siddiqi of Edmond, OK and Grandbury, TX member Greg Preissinger, both residents of tornado hit areas within the last week, shared the third place finish.

Senior Sarazen Flight:  Easy going, Wichita Falls, TX member Derek Drake nearly lapped the field for his third win on tour and first since the 2011 Tour Championship @ Cowboy.  Drake used a couple of birdies early in the round and went one over par on the front for a twelve stroke victory over Mark Helms of Broken Bow, TX.  Helms, birdied the par 5 - 10th to edge out Garland, TX player Bob Eustice for the second place finish.

Jones Flight:  Garrett Tidman of Little Elm, TX became another five time winnner on tour and first since his promotion to the Jones Flight.  Flower Mound, TX member Brian Glaser a three year member looked to have his first win on tour locked up, but became a victim of his groups pace of play penalties.  Tied up in the second spot with Glaser, Trecia Wood of Frisco, TX carded her second, second place finish on the year.

Senior Jones Flight:  Houston tour player Lu Cormier from Missouri City, TX and Lewisville, TX resident Ron Hardy needed extra holes to seal the deal.  Cormier birdied her first hole of the day and parred the sixteenth and seventeenth holes to force the playoff.  Hardy started the day in one under par over the first four holes, went to sudden death and chipped in for birdie on the third playoff hole to card his seventh win on tour and second in as many attempts. Lloyd C Reid Jr from Dallas, TX rounded out the top three, one stroke back. 

Snead Flight:   Mike Adcock of Saginaw, TX took a one stroke lead to the back nine over Doyle Fleming of Haslet, TX.  After some back nine woes, Adcock birdied the par 4 - 17th to get back within one, then finished out the eighteenth with a stroke advantage to force a sudden death playoff.  On the first hole of the playoff Fleming grabbed his fourth trophy of the year, while Adcock notched another runner up finish.  Winner the last time out at the Arlington Championship @ Tierra Verde,  Luis Dayer finished in third.
