Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - June
June began with the Space City Challenge at Wildcat Golf Club on June 2-3. Ayden Hubbard of Humble, TX and Roberta Alvarez of The Woodlands, TX captured their first Srixon Prestige Tour victories with both maintaining steady atop the leaderboard after Round 1. The following week, the Srixon Prestige Tour team headed west to The Quarry Golf Course and Flying L Ranch Resort for the Boys and Girls Junior PGA Championship #1. Michael Vienneau of Austin, TX and Ava Frazier of Round Rock, TX went back-to-back after winning this same event in 2024. Both Frazier and Vienneau have punched their ticket into the Junior PGA Championship at Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex at Purdue University. Shortly after, Ian Chen of Houston, TX and Krysta Loftin of Pearland, TX took on the challenging, yet beautiful scenery, of Lost Pines Golf Club for the Bluebonnet Classic. Loftin found herself with a lead after Round 1 while Chen worked his way up the leaderboard to claim his first Srixon Prestige Tour victory. Jaxon Graves of Magnolia, TX and Veronika Germain of Houston, TX maneuvered the difficult Westwood Golf Club to leave Round 2 of the Omega Transactions Mid-Summer Showcase with more than just lasting memories!
2025 Ben Hogan Junior Cup Captain - Savannah Dupre
The Southern Texas PGA is proud to announce Savannah Dupre as the 2025 Ben Hogan Team STPGA Captain. A decorated junior golfer and fierce competitor, Dupre brings unmatched experience and leadership to this prestigious role. With over 50 career STPGA victories across multiple divisions and programs, she exemplifies what it means to represent #TEAMSTPGA.
A familiar face in team match play, Dupre made her debut in 2016 as a member of the Texas Junior Cup Matches and later competed for Team STPGA in the 2022 Ben Hogan Junior Cup Matches. Her return this year as Captain is a full-circle moment—one that brings both deep personal pride and a veteran’s insight.
"It’s a true honor to be named Captain," said Savannah, "I’m proud to now be on the other side of this experience, and I hope to lead our team with the same dedication and spirit that my Captain showed when I competed".
