Austin Wylie, and Omar Uresti, PGA Claim Victory at TPx Player's Cup!

Southern Texas PGA • May 8, 2024

BOERNE, TEXAS (MAY 7) - The TPx Player's Cup was truly one of a kind down at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch in Boerne, Texas. The course was in incredible shape and proved to be a challenge for the field. Stu Rowland, Director of Agronomy at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch, and the team put in hours of work to get the course in great condition for our 111 Members and Associates to compete.


Upon finishing play of round 1, smiles and laughs were shared amongst the Members at a dinner hosted by The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch and their tremendous staff. Incredible food with an even better view from the main dining hall within the clubhouse made for a fantastic evening.


The Senior Division was a shootout all throughout round 2 with several of our PGA of America Members holding the lead at various points, but ultimately, Omar Uresti, PGA Life Member, made the charge and came out on top thanks to critical birdies on 15 and 17.


“I hit some good shots and made some solid putts on day one. I just started hitting some wayward shots towards the end. It was frustrating but today I came out and tried to attack it a little more. I was making good putts and being more aggressive put me into some better spots and I got very fortunate today.”


The Open Division had an unforgettable finish with an epic battle between Austin Wylie, Assistant Professional at Mac Wylie Golf Center, and the PGA Director of Golf at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch, Corey Roberson. Wylie was named the champion after a four hole sudden-death playoff.


“I didn’t finish as strong as I would’ve liked, but I was very thankful to have done enough to be given another opportunity to win the Championship. I’ve worked on a few things in my game here and there, and today I was able to make a few birdies to get into the playoff and it feels great to win.”


The Southern Texas PGA wants to thank Marc DeWall, PGA General Manager, Corey Roberson, PGA Director of Golf, Jacques LeBlanc Jr., PGA Head Professional, and the staff at The Clubs of Cordillera Ranch for hosting this event and the amazing service they provided.


We also want to thank our Title Sponsor, TPx Communications, along with our Presenting Partners, as this event would not be possible without them; Perry Weather, Fairways & Fundays, Radmor, Surf & Turf, Sterling Cut Glass, Club Car, Blue Delta Jeans, Texoma Golf, and IZON Technology.

HOUSTON, TEXAS (August 18, 2025) – Mother Nature had different plans at Champions Golf Club, where drawn-out lightning delays ultimately forced the cancellation of Round Two and shortened the 2025 Southern Texas Assistant PGA Professional Championship to 18 holes. Taking advantage of his strong opening round, Jake Sitterle, Assistant Professional at Lakecliff Country Club, earned the victory with a score of 70 (-1) on the par-71 layout, securing his place at this year’s champion. “This wasn’t the way anyone wanted this championship to end. Gilbert was playing great in the second round, but I am happy I could get the win,” Sitterle reflected. “With how the last major ended, I was always confident in my game and that I could be up at the top, but this field is strong, and I just wish all the guys who qualified the best of luck.” The tournament, hosted at Champions Golf Club, featured over 50 Assistant Professionals from across the Section, competing for qualifying spots into the Assistant PGA Professional Championship, set to be played at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, November 13-16, 2025.

HOUSTON, TX (July 22, 2025) – Omar Uresti, PGA Life Member, claimed victory at the 2025 Southern Texas Senior PGA Professional Championship, firing rounds of 67-73–140 ( -4 ) at Bay Oaks Country Club to secure the title of Senior Section Champion. This is Uresti's Fourth Senior Championship, with his last win coming in 2023. This year’s championship served a dual purpose, determining not only the Southern Texas PGA Senior Champion but also acting as the Section’s qualifier for the 2025 Senior PGA Professional Championship, to be held at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, later this fall. "It feels good to come out and get a win against a strong field and a tough golf course. The first round I was hitting good shots and making good putts, but today wasn't the same, and I had to balance my mental game a little bit throughout the ups and downs," said Uresti. In the final round, Uresti needed to battle back after a slow start on the front nine with 3 bogeys, but took the lead with 1 eagle and 2 birdies on the back nine to secure the win. The leaderboard finished with Uresti winning by three over Billy Sitton, PGA Executive from Triumph Golf, and four over Darrell Fuston, PGA General Manager from Westwood Golf Club. Heading into the tournament, Uresti, Robert Thompson, PGA, and Eric Bogar, PGA, were already exempt. The five additional qualifiers are: Billy Sitton, PGA Golf Executive at Triumph Golf Darrell Fuston, PGA General Manager at Westwood Golf Club Darek Franklin, PGA Assistant Professional at Austin Golf Club Steve Jurgensen, PGA Teaching Professional at Westwood Golf Club David von Hoffman, PGA Director of Golf at Spanish Oaks Golf Club
