Killeen Goes Back-to-Back at Midland Country Club

Steven Clements • July 19, 2022

MIDLAND, TX – JJ Killeen, PGA head professional at Red Feather Golf and Social Club, fired a 8-under-par final round to win the On The Rocks | Golf Pro Payments Western Championship. Killeen finished the Championship at 10-under-par and two shots ahead of the field.


Killeen started the day six shots back of the leader. “I knew that I had to shoot extremely low… This course is one that I am familiar with… you have to be strategic off the tee, but also hit some great shots,” said Killeen.


This is now Killeen’s third individual stroke play Major Championship in a row dating back to last September when he claimed the Joyce Crane | Veritex Bank Section Championship. That event was also held at Midland Country Club. Killeen earned $4,000 for his victory today.


Stuart Hendley, PGA director of instruction at Dallas Athletic Club, captured the Senior Division after rounds of 38-33–71 and 36-32–68. He finished the Championship at 5-under-par and three strokes ahead of Rick Woodson, PGA instructor at Sherrill Park Golf Course.


Hendley is familiar with Midland, as he worked at Green Tree Country Club for over eight years before moving to Dallas. “I have lots of friends here and my wife’s family is from here… so it’s fun getting to come back,” said Stuart. 


This is now Hendley’s second win on the season and his third top ten finish. “Honestly going to the back nine I hadn’t looked at the scores and I was just thinking I needed to make a lot of birdies,” said Hendley. He will head back to Dallas with a $1,500 payday.


This 36-hole Northern Texas PGA Major Championship was the second of four individual stroke play events that comprise the Yamaha Golf-Car Company | Srixon / Cleveland Golf / Asics Player of the Year Points Challenge presented by Adventures In Golf.

The On The Rocks | Golf Pro Payments Western Championship was presented by ahead, AT&T Byron Nelson, Clippd, GT Golf Supplies, Midland Country Club, PGA TOUR and Turf Hound, Inc..

Norman and Massa (a) Win Again at the Srixon and Nike Pro-Scratch Championship

DALLAS, Texas (April 1) – Brian Norman, PGA instructor at Lakewood Country Club, and Bobby Massa (a) fought through a 3-hole playoff to win the 2025 Srixon and Nike Pro-Scratch title. It marks their third victory in four attempts. Starting the final round one-stroke behind the lead, they carded the second lowest round of the day at 8-under-par, 32-32–64. Their five birdies on the back-nine was enough to get them into a playoff. Joining them in the playoff was Peyton Coursey, Associate at Dallas Athletic Club, and David Schultz (a). The pair turned in the lowest round of the day and the Championship at 9-under-par, 31-32–63. Both teams played in the favorable morning conditions, which featured tame winds, compared to the gusty afternoon conditions. This also left them both with lengthy waits to see if their scores would hold up through the afternoon wave. They did. The playoff for the Open Division title began on the par-4, 18th hole. Both teams made par and they proceeded to the par-5, 3rd hole. Two birdies on the par-5, 3rd hole led both teams back to the 18th tee. All four players hit the fairway. Norman was the first to hit his approach and he hit the green. Then the pair from Dallas Athletic Club both missed the green. Finally, Massa (a) hit his approach to 15-feet, just off the green, long left of the hole. Massa (a) was the last to attempt his birdie opportunity and stepped up to the downhill left-to-right putt with a chance to win the Championship. Tracking the whole way, it dropped and the pair had won their third Pro-Scratch title. “We got off to a kind of slow start, but got on the back and got hot and made some birdies,” said Norman about their round this morning. “We were just ham and egging it,” added Massa (a). “We think very similarly about golf so it’s easy to bounce ideas back and forth,” said Massa (a) about the three-time winning duo. The team earned $2,000 ($1,000 each) for the victory today.
