ARGYLE, TX – Two players are tied for the lead at the 2022 Texas Women’s Open. Annabelle Pancake (a) and Farah O’Keefe (a) share the lead at 7-under-par. Round two was suspended due to darkness at 8:25 p.m. and will resume at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow.


O’Keefe, who celebrates her 17th birthday on Monday, fired 34-34–68, 4-under-par to jump into a tie for the lead. Speaking on her second round she said, “I came back to the course thinking I really had to hammer down on those six-footers, and today I was able to make a couple more of those. I made a lot of putts today and my head was in the right place.”


O’Keefe has experience in pressure situations. Last summer she made her LPGA Tour debut at the Volunteers of America Classic, where she made the cut. She also led Austin Anderson High School to a 5A State Championship last month.


Annabelle Pancake who held the lead after round one was able to complete 12 holes before play was suspended. She will finish her second round tomorrow morning. “My mindset is to just go out there and have fun. Today my putting wasn’t as good, the greens felt a little slower. Hopefully by tomorrow morning I will be able to find that mojo again,” said Pancake.


After the second round is completed the field will be cut to the top 50 and players and ties. Those making the cut will be repaired by score for the final round, which is scheduled to begin at 12:00 p.m.


This year's Championship features an overall purse of $50,000. Of the total purse $47,000 will be awarded to the professionals that make the cut and $3,000 to the amateurs in the form of gift certificates.


The 2022 Texas Women’s Open is presented by CG Infinity and TPX Communications and is supported by the Women’s All Pro Tour.

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.
