Southern Texas PGA • October 8, 2024

MONT BELVIEU, TX (October 8, 2024) – The Southern Texas PGA is excited to start off the week by announcing the winners of the 2024 Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open Pro-Am! With 25 Pro-Am Teams competing, the team coming out on top is the Barbers Hill Education Foundation! The team consisted of Clint Pipes, Fred Skinner, George Barrera, Dustin Morris, and led by Mark Walker!


“It is incredible to see the community come together with such an amazing turnout for today’s Pro-Am,” said Scott Olsen, PGA Head Professional at Eagle Pointe Golf Club. Hosting this event annually is such an exciting opportunity for the facility, and our team enjoys watching some of the best seniors in the country put their games to the test on the course!


This year marks the 11th year that Eagle Pointe Golf Club and the City of Mont Belvieu have been the host and we cannot thank them enough for their commitment! Allowing us to run this event here for over a decade truly puts their passion and love for golf on display. The City continues to put money into the golf course to elevate the facility for the community as well as the Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open!


The Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open Pro-Am is a great event to help raise money through our gracious partners for PGA REACH Southern Texas and our Scholarship Program, and we are happy to announce that $30,000 will be donated to PGA REACH Southern Texas and the Energy Transfer Scholarship Fund!

We want to thank our partners for this amazing donation towards growing the game of golf in Southern Texas. Another aspect showing how important this Pro-Am and our amazing partners are is that we are able to boast an incredible $100,000 purse for the second year in a row for the Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open!


“This is one of the best days of the year for the Southern Texas PGA,” said Thomas Hutton, PGA Executive Director. “Having our amazing partners enjoying the day on the course with our PGA of America Members while raising money for scholarships is the perfect way to kick off the 28th Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open presented by S&B, Vortech Contracting, Riceland, and the City of Mont Belvieu." We look forward to crowning an Energy Transfer Texas Senior Open champion in just a few days’ time!


In addition, this money has helped fund the Dick Harmon Participation Grant where families that cannot afford junior golf are provided funds to participate in the STPGA Junior Golf program. PGA REACH Southern Texas is focused on impacting lives through golf and we believe that helping people with college education and playing golf are truly worthy causes, and we appreciate all of the local support from today's event!

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
