April 27, 2026 • Southern Texas PGA

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS (January  28-29, 2023) - The Lone Star Shootout was held this weekend at The Golf Club at Texas A&M. Over 80 of our Prestige Tour boys and girls went out against cold and rainy weather with the goal to bring home a victory. The rough weather conditions cut the event down to an 18-hole tournament.

In the overall girls division, Makenzie Minshew of The Woodlands, shot a round (+2) 73 to solidify her scorecard playoff victory against Addison Surber of Montgomery in College Station. It came down to Minshew and Surber’s back nine score, which Minshew won with a 37. Having only been able to play one round due to weather, Minshew made her round count with 2 birdies and 13 pars, paving her way to a single round victory. This was Makenzie’s first win of the season and first Prestige Tour victory. Since playing with the STPGA back in 2015, Makenzie has earned 28 first place finishes and 50 top-5 finishes.

In the overall boys division, Skye Fischer of Austin, took home the victory with a round one (-2) 69 at the Lone Star Shootout. Fischer had an impressive round with 1 eagle, 4 birdies, and 10 pars to place him in the victor position. This was Skye’s first STPGA and Prestige Tour win. Since last year, Fischer has had 6 top 10 finishes on top of this weekend’s victory.

Partnership centered around impacting the next generation through grants, scholarships, and a showcase junior golf event. San Antonio, TX (April 17, 2026) - The Southern Texas PGA could not be more excited to continue our partnership with former STPGA Junior Golfer and World Class Professional Golfer Abraham Ancer. Started in 2024, the relationship features the Abraham Ancer Classic on the Srixon Prestige Tour, College Scholarships, and money awarded specifically to families to help introduce golf to the next generation. “This is a full circle moment for the STPGA,” said Thomas Hutton, Executive Director for the STPGA. “From growing up in our program in The Valley to supporting the program financially, we are extremely grateful for his time, investment, and motivation towards helping the next generation.” The third Annual Abraham Ancer Classic will be adding a new chapter in November, when the event visits the Clubs of Cordillera Ranch in Boerne, TX, after being played the last two years at Oak Hills Country Club. The event will be held during Thanksgiving week on November 23-24 and will be the STPGA’s first time hosting a junior golf event at Cordillera Ranch, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, ranked among the best in the State! “The STPGA does an awesome job growing the game, providing scholarships, and running high quality events,” said Ancer who was born in McAllen, TX and raised in Reynosa, Mexico. Ancer grew up playing at Reynosa Country Club and traveled to Southern Texas to compete in STPGA events, where he was the STPGA Valley Area Champion for his division in 2005. “I feel it is only right to give back, get engaged with the next generation, and make a difference!” In addition, Abraham will continue to support our College Scholarship Program and our Dick Harmon Participation Grant. This ties together his value in helping people with their education and then introducing the game to people that might not be able to afford tournament golf! The STPGA appreciates Abraham Ancer’s time and commitment and look forward to an awesome year together!
