LEWISVILLE, TX – Cyril Bouniol, PGA TOUR and amateur partner Robbe Trout (a) secured the title of Srixon/Cleveland Golf/Asics Pro-Scratch Champions. Their opening-round of seven-under-par, 65 followed by a second round eight-under-par, 64 for a total of 15-under-par was enough to hold off the field. 


The team from Mira Vista Country Club was led by Bouniol who carded 9-birdies on his own in the final round, despite the 35+ mph wind gusts. “Yesterday, I played great, I hit the ball beautifully. Hit every green (in regulation)... and then I just putted really poorly. Today I made 9-birdies in that wind which was pretty solid.” The team of Bouniol and Trout (a) finished the tournament with 18 birdies. 


The Four-Ball Stroke Play Northern Texas PGA major championship was hosted by The Lakes at Castle Hills and consisted of 96 two-person teams. Each team featured one PGA Professional along with one scratch amateur golfer. The field competed for a record Championship purse of $29,000.

Hendley and Motes (a) took home $500 each for their win. Hendley said, “Today was just survival - very difficult conditions.

The two carded a bogey free, 11-under-par, final score after shooting 64 on Old American Golf Club and a 32 on the back nine of Tribute Golf Links. They bested the team of Robby Bruns and Katrina Prendergast from Trinity Forest Golf Club and the team of Cameron Doan and Spencer Dillard from Preston Trail Golf Club, who finished at 9-under-par. The 27-hole, Four-Ball Stroke Play, championship was hosted at Golf Clubs at The Tribute for the fifth straight year. Teams played Old American Golf Club and the back nine of Tribute Golf Links. Dallas Athletic Club brought nine professionals to play in the championship this year so Hendley and Sudinsky were not paired together. “It was a blast! I was checking on his scores every other hole,” said Sudinsky. “It felt like playing your own ball and grinding out every hole.” Hendley said “It was fun, a nice way to start the year. It’s a tough format. A lot of holes early in the year.” This win was Sudinsky’s second in the last eight months. Last July he won the Golf Pro Payments Western Championship. “Winning is great, but you can’t take it for granted,” he said after today’s team victory. The pair earned $3,000 ($1,500 each) out of the record $30,000 total championship purse.

Spencer Dillard’s rise from a young golfer to a devoted PGA of America Golf Professional is a story of passion and purpose. His love for the game began when he was gifted a Tiger Wood’s golf video game as a kid. Spencer, who is now an Assistant Golf Professional at Preston Trail Golf Club, reflects on a journey shaped by the Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour. Spencer’s golfing journey began at the age of seven when his parents enrolled him in a small golf camp in McKinney, Texas. A year later, he discovered the Ewing Automotive NTPGA Junior Tour and started competing in tournaments. These early experiences helped him develop both his skills and excitement for the game. Spencer’s first experience on the junior tour was memorable. “I think I shot 72 for my very first [Prep Tour] event,” Dillard shares. “By the end of that year, I shot a 46. I was so happy to go from shooting a 72 for nine holes to [shooting] in the 40s.”
