The Prestige Tour got into the holiday spirit this past week hosting two events across the southern region of Texas. The Billiard Factory Gobble Classic was contested at Brackenridge Park Golf Club in San Antonio and the Turkey Shootout at Walden on Lake Conroe. 


LAKE CONROE, TEXAS (November 21–22, 2022) - The Turkey Shootout was played last week at Walden on Lake Conroe. Over 70 of our Prestige Tour boys and girls fought through wind, rain, and chilly temperatures for their chance to harvest a victory. 

In the overall girls division, Jamison Louie from Sugarland, fired a final round (E) 72 to overcome a five shot deficit to capture her third Prestige Tour victory of the 2022 season and her first Prestige Tour victory as the overall 13-18 champion. Louie led the field this past week with a total of 25 pars including 16 of them in the final round. Louie also poured in two birdies on her way to claim a two stroke victory at the Turkey Shootout and her second victory in back to back weeks. This was Louie’s 39th win with the STPGA since joining in 2015.

In the overall boys division, Aiden Wright of Magnolia, completed the wire-to-wire victory to claim the overall boys title at the Turkey Shootout. After an impressive first round of (+2) 74 in difficult conditions, Wright found himself sitting at the top of the leaderboard by a single stroke. Wright fired a (+5) 77 to extend his lead in the final round, by closing out his final nine with an even par 36 to secure a four stroke victory. Wright led the field with a total of 28 pars and played both the par 3’s & 5’s even par for the week. This was Aiden’s second Prestige Tour victory of the 2022 season and his 27th since joining the STPGA in 2013.


SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (November 21–22, 2022) - The Billiard Factory Gobble Classic was held this past week at Brackenridge Park Golf Club in San Antonio, Texas. Over 100 Prestige Tour players teed it up in cold and rainy conditions with their eyes set on taking home the turkey. 

In the overall girls division, Camille Pazouki of San Antonio, shot two consecutive rounds of (-1) 71 to complete her comeback victory. After the first round Pazouki found herself just one shot behind leader Destiny McNeil of Castroville. In the final round, Camille poured in four birdies on her way to capture the Gobble Classic Trophy. This was Pazouki’s second victory of the 2022 season, with her first coming earlier this year at the Riverside Junior Tour event in March.

In the overall boys division, Kyle Doolittle of New Braunfels, fired two back to back under par rounds to secure his victory at the Gobble Classic. After a first round (-1) 70, Doolittle found himself two shots behind first round leader Brennan Young of Fair Oaks Ranch.
