Jamie Elliott, PGA teaching professional at Prestonwood Country Club (Creek Course), posted a two-round total score of six-under par, 138 to win the Northern Texas PGA Professional Championship. Elliott’s bogey-free second round included one birdie on the front nine and two birdies on the back nine, one of which was on the par-5, 18th hole. This victory marks Elliott’s fourth Northern Texas PGA major championship victory. Elliott will take home a $3,000.00 check for his victory.
Finishing in second place was Stuart Deane, PGA teaching professional at Sinclair’s Golf Training Center. Deane posted rounds of two-under par, 70 and four-under par, 68 for a total of six-under par, 138. Deane, playing in the next to last group ahead of Elliott birdied his final two holes to post the low score in the clubhouse.
Within ten minutes of Elliott making birdie on the last hole to force a playoff, all contestants and sponsors headed for shelter as inclement weather approached Craig Ranch. Subsequently, the playoff between Elliott and Deane was delayed, as was the playoff for the alternate spots for the PGA Professional National Championship.
Immediately following the suspension, Deane informed officials that he had an 8:00 p.m. flight to catch. Deane, was scheduled to work with Derek Lamely, at the Wyndham Championship on the PGA TOUR at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday morning in Greensboro, NC. Lamely, who captured his first victory on the PGA TOUR at the Puerto Rico Open earlier this year, is coached by Deane.
Due to the weather delay and Deane’s commitment to Lamely, he forfeited the opportunity to capture his first NTPGA major championship. Deane shook Elliott’s hand and congratulated him on the victory and left straight for the airport to catch his flight.
Elliott will lead eight (8) PGA professionals from the Northern Texas Section to the PGA Professional National Championship at Hershey Country Club in Hershey, Pennsylvania to be conducted June 26 – June 29, 2011.
