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.
