Good Evening Players, Parents, & Family Friends,


Upsets, buzzer-beaters, and comebacks. The real March Madness happened right here on the Srixon Prestige Tour.


Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - March

March began in San Antonio at the Hill Country Open, where players battled not just the course, but relentless weather delays. Rising above it all, Brody Tharp of Horseshoe Bay, TX captured his first Boys 11–14 title with a gritty 1-under 71. Diego Amour of McAllen, TX edged out a tightly packed leaderboard to claim his first Boys 15–18 victory, while Addison Braden of San Antonio, TX set the tone early with a 75 to secure her first Overall Girls win of the year.


The momentum carried east to Katy for the Spring Break Classic, and the fireworks only intensified. Mason Hwang of Houston, TX staged an incredible comeback, erasing a three-shot deficit before clutching a playoff victory for his first Boys 11-14 title. Hudson Rankin, a hometown standout from Katy, TX, fired a brilliant second-round 69 to earn his first Boys 15–18 win. Meanwhile, Esther Li of Houston, TX delivered a jaw-dropping performance, going 5-under par to notch her second Overall Girls victory of the season.


From there, the Tour headed west to Spicewood for the Shootout in the Hills—and lived up to its name. Trevor Lane of Leander, TX broke through with a stellar Second Round 67 to earn his first Boys 11-14 win, while Brady Shelton of Spicewood, TX used a Second Round 69 to cruise to a three-shot Boys 15-18 victory. Francie Martin of Austin, TX added to the excitement, closing strong with a 72 to claim her first career Overall Girls title.


At the same time in Cypress, the Rocket City Open brought even more drama. Griffin Domingues of Houston, TX mounted a clutch comeback, using a final-round 76 to overcome a one shot deficit and grab his first win. Jace Beverly of Montgomery, TX kept his composure under pressure, sealing his Boys 15–18 victory with a par in a playoff. Sophia Liu of Sugar Land, TX dominated from start to finish, going wire-to-wire for her first Overall Girls win of the year—and third of her career.


The Tour then rolled into Lake Charles for the Visit Lake Charles Spring Classic, where dominant performances stole the spotlight. Landon Lotz of Slidell, LA ran away with a commanding nine-shot Boys 11-14 victory, while Wayne Kabrich of Mandeville, LA held off a late charge to secure his first Boys 15-18 win. Grace Goodwin of Bossier City, LA surged up the leaderboard with a strong closing 72 to earn her first Overall Girls crown.


March wrapped up in style in south Houston at the Golf Performance Group Houston Junior Classic, delivering one final burst of excitement. Mason Hwang of Houston, TX struck again, capturing his second Boys 11-14 title of the month with an incredible 5-under Second Round performance. Adrian Bowers of Pearland, TX rallied from two shots back with a clutch 71 to earn his first Boys 15-18 win of the year. And Emily Zhang of Houston, TX set the pace early with a blazing front-nine 34—never looking back as she cruised to her second career Overall Girls victory.
