Good Afternoon Players, Parents, & Family Friends,


They say September is for Football—but on the Srixon Prestige Tour, Golf stole the spotlight.

 

Srixon Prestige Tour Champions - September
The Srixon Prestige Tour kicked off September at Rayburn Resort Golf Course with the Vortech Contracting Championship. It was a standout event for the sibling duo from Spring, TX—Hugo and Melay Dittrich—who each captured their first Prestige Tour victories of the season in impressive fashion.


The Tour then headed west to San Antonio for the Brackenridge Park Classic at the historic Brackenridge Park Golf Course. Mateo Tamez of Helotes, TX claimed his first career Prestige Tour title after a dramatic five-hole playoff. On the girls’ side, Claire McMyler of San Antonio, TX delivered back-to-back rounds of 69 to secure her first overall Prestige Tour win.

September concluded in Austin at Legacy Hills Golf Club for the Sun City Showdown. Katelyn Allen of Montgomery, TX earned her first career Prestige Tour win by finishing the tournament at even par. Carlos Castaneda Garza of Austin, TX emerged victorious in a playoff, also capturing his first career Prestige Tour title.
