May 8, 2023Southern Texas PGA

LAREDO, TEXAS (May 6-7, 2023) - The Southern Texas PGA headed all the way down south for the Rio Grande Showcase at Laredo Country Club. With 44 of our Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour players teeing it up, we had a weekend full of good golf. 




In the Overall Girls Division, Brooke Yount of League City, went home with the trophy after a two-hole playoff. Finishing Round One with a  (+3) 75, Brooke was in first place with a one-stroke lead going into the final round. She finished with a tournament total of  (+7) 151, sending her into a playoff with Alyssa Esparza of Laredo. After the first playoff hole, the two remained tied, until Brooke took home the win with a par on 10. This was Brooke’s first ever Prestige Tour victory since joining the STPGA in 2018. “Having my family out here with me for my first Prestige Tour win meant the world to me,” Brooke stated. This victory earned Brooke exemptions into the 2023 Texas Junior Amateur, the 2023 George Hannon Junior Invitational, & The 2023 Ascendant LPGA Benefiting VOA Girls Championship.



In the Overall Boys Division, Dylan Villarreal of Palmhurst, finished Round One with a (+1) 73 placing himself tied for fourth place with a two-stroke deficit from the leader. Intent on climbing up the leaderboard, Dylan shot a tournament total of (+1) 145 including 7 birdies, making him the overall boys division winner. This was Dylan’s first ever Prestige Tour victory, about which he said, “I’ve been waiting for this and it finally happened. I’m just really happy and I can’t wait to go celebrate.” This victory earned Dylan exemptions into the Veritex Bank Byron Nelson Junior Championship, the 2023 Texas Junior Amateur, & the 2023 George Hannon Junior Invitational.



This marks the final Srixon Billiard Factory Prestige Tour of the Spring Season. We will be back on May 30 at the Golf Club of Houston for the Girls Southern Texas Junior PGA Championship #1 to mark the start of the summer series.

Spring, TX (May 5th, 2025) - Good Afternoon Players, Parents, & Family Friends, April showers bring May flowers... and top notch play from our junior golfer at Srixon Prestige Tour championships! Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - April April began with the Alamo City Shootout at the freshly renovated Cedar Creek Golf Course in San Antonio, Texas on April 5-6. With a windy few days, similar to that of the Valero Texas Open held right down the road, William Mangione of Austin, TX and Kanak Yadav of Austin, TX managed the conditions and earned the right to call themselves champions for the second time in 2025. Just one week later, the Srixon Prestige Tour team administered the Lone Star Shootout at Hearthstone Country Club. Francisco Munoz of Richards, TX and Emma Ziniuk of Magnolia, TX found themselves atop the leaderboard after both Munoz and Ziniuk managed to hold steady after carding sub-par Round 1 scores. This was both Munoz and Ziniuk’s first Prestige Tour win. 2025 Insperity Invitational Tour Championship We are one month closer to the highly anticipated, 2025 Insperity Invitational Tour Championship!
