SPICEWOOD, TEXAS (August 6, 2024) - The inaugural Insperity Invitational Tour Championship hosted by the Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour took place the past two days at Barton Creek Country Club (Palmer Lakeside) in Spicewood, Texas. This new event was announced last year to reward the success of the many junior golfers on the Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour throughout the year and bring the best of the best together! The 57-player field consisted of 32 Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour winners and 11 college commits.
With the connection between the Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour and Legends Junior Tour, the players were competing for more than just the opportunity to call themselves Tour Champions. The boys and girls winner earned themselves Fully Exempt Status on the Legends Junior Tour starting in September and running through next summer!
After an incredible six birdies in her first round, Bowen Lan gave herself a three stroke lead heading into the final day. Brielle Burns would force a playoff following a fantastic second round of 69 (-2), but Lan emerged victorious following a birdie on the first hole of the playoff to be crowned your 2024 Insperity Invitational Girls 13-18 Champion!
It felt like the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders when that putt fell on 18 to send it to a playoff. I didn't have the best round putting wise and when I made the putt I fist pumped and was so hyped."
The Boys 13-18 Division would see a similar feat with Ryan Lee carding 7 birdies for his first round. He would be sitting at 68 (-3) with only a two stroke lead. The Boys division would be setup for a fierce finish with the Top 10 being separated only by three strokes.
An impressive finish by Kaden Frierson would earn him the victory with a tournament total of 70-68–138 (-4). Frierson expressed the feeling of walking away victorious and how he handled the heat of the competition.
"I made a putt on hole 9 that swung the momentum my way. It was about a 25-footer and I hit it right into the heart of the cup. I carried that momentum into the back nine and thankfully walked away with a win" said Frierson.
The STPGA would like to thank our title sponsor, the Insperity Invitational, as they continue to demonstrate their devotion to growing the game of golf in Southern Texas and being more than just the best event on PGA TOUR Champions!
We would like to thank Head Professional, Casey Neal, and his entire team at Barton Creek Country Club for allowing us to give our players this once in a lifetime opportunity!
