Team NTPGA Wins the 8th Levy Cup Matches!
Major Championship Season Comes to a Close for STPGA and NTPGA Professionals
November 5, 2024 (Richmond, TX) - The 8th Levy Cup Matches took place this week at Black Hawk Country Club with the Northern Texas PGA winning the Levy Cup with a final score of 9-3 over the Southern Texas PGA. Due to inclement weather and conditions of the golf course, the Singles Matches were not able to be played today.
“Our guys fought hard yesterday,” said Team NTPGA Captain, Stephen Aumock, PGA. “There was a point at the beginning of Foursomes where momentum was leaning towards Team STPGA but our guys stayed strong and brought it back.”
“The leaderboard does not reflect the battle between each team in each match. Team STPGA made every match entertaining and I was honored to be the captain of the winning team,” said Aumock.
Named after Past President of the PGA of America, Paul Levy, the Ryder Cup style event features 12 PGA Professionals representing each PGA of America Section in Texas. Each team consists of four Assistant PGA Members, four STPGA Members of any Classification not already represented in these matches or the Texas Joe Black Cup Matches, and four Senior PGA Members.
“Our players showed resilience and I am thankful to have Chuck Cook as my Vice Captain,” said Alan Hodde, PGA captain of Team STPGA. “He was involved in everything and loved being here with everyone.”
“We would have loved to compete and try and have a comeback today, but a huge appreciation to Black Hawk Country Club’s team for getting the course ready to play as much as we did, with the weather leading into the match,” said Hodde.
The event commenced with Four Ball Matches yesterday. The NTPGA got off to a fast start winning the first three matches of the event and then the STPGA winning two out of the final three to finish the morning session on Day 1, 4-2.
While STPGA had some momentum early in Foursomes in the afternoon, NTPGA would extend their lead to 9-3, which became the final results of the 8th Levy Cup Matches.
The inaugural Matches were hosted October 15-17, 2017 at Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas with the STPGA winning 14-10. This year’s matches were presented by ClubCar, Dunning, and PING. Without these partners, the event would not be possible with providing each captain with their own cart, team uniforms, and golf bags for everyone!
The STPGA would also like to thank PGA General Manager Bob McHugh and PGA Head Professional Trent Peddy for having us out on their golf course this week. Black Hawk Country Club received over a foot of rain a few days prior to the matches but after great work by the team, golf was still able to be played!
The Northern Texas PGA will host the 2025 Matches next year at a facility to be determined.
