Andrew Chow wins North Amateur

Briefly: Andrew Chow of Coppell overcame a one-shot deficit heading into the final round of the North-Amateur to win by one stroke. Chow a member of the University of Texas at Dallas golf team used consistent play over three days at Thorntree to finish the championship at seven-under par 209, all while competing in temperatures that cleared 103 degrees all three days of the tournament. This is Chow’s first victory with the Texas Golf Association.

Final Results

Golf Course: Thorntree Golf Club was built in 1983 by the Richard Mai Family. For five years, it played host to the Byron Nelson qualifying tournament, PGA Tour stage qualifying, and sectional qualifying for the Texas State Open. Rated as one of the toughest courses in the Dallas/Fort Worth area by the Dallas Business Journal, this challenging course provides a test for any competitive golfer.

Weather: First, second, and the final round began with players teeing off with temperatures in the low 90’s.  Afternoon temperatures peaked at 104 degrees all three days.  All three days the skies were clear.

Top Finishers: Chow posted rounds of 68-69-72 over his three days which included a birdies on the 8th and 9th holes to secure his even par finish in the final round.  Chow began the day seven-under par, one shot back of the round two leaders.  Chow’s second round included six birdies including a string of three straight on holes two, three, and four. Chows final round even par 72 was enough to secure the victory as his final group competitors both shot over par for the final round.

Finishing in second place was Wylie’s Brandon Shong.  Shong entered the final round in a tie for the lead after two stellar round of 69-67, however a quadruple bogey on the sixth hole of the final round proved too much to overcome.  Shong would finish the tournament one shot back of Chow at six-under par 210. In third place for the tournament Justin Bates of Highland Village.  Bates fired rounds of 71-71-70 to finish four-under par.  Rounding out the top five were Texas Tech University commit Ben Gregg of Dallas, TX who used a final round 68 to vault into the top five for the tournament finishing at three-under par.  Daniel Moon of Temple, Alex Huang of Plano, and Gant Bills of Plano all finished tied for 5th place at two-under par 214.  Bills entered the final round tied for the lead however a final round 78 did not secure a victory.

Regional POY: North Player of the Year points will be awarded to the top 30 finishers at the 2023 North Amateur with the champion will receive 1,000 points. For Regional POY information, click here.

What’s Next: With the conclusion of the 2023 TGA Regional Series, next on the state championship schedule is the Texas Four-Ball. Registration for the Four-Ball will close on August 9 at 5:00 pm, the Four-Ball will be contested August 18-20 at Pinecrest Country Club in Longview.

Regional Amateurs Set for Aug. 4-6

Thorntree Golf Club in DeSoto and The Wilderness Golf Club in Lake Jackson will be the host sites for the North Amateur and South Amateur, respectively. The championships will be held concurrently from Aug. 4-6.

Built by the Richard Mai family, Thorntree Golf Club opened in 1983. The parkland-style course features a number of elevation changes, mature trees lining the fairways, and contoured greens guarded by deep bunkers. The Wilderness Golf Club opened in 2004 and was designed by Jeffrey Brauer. Recognized as an Audubon International Cooperative Sanctuary, the scenic layout weaves through and around hardwood forests, streams, marshes, and protected wetlands.

First played in 2003, Regional Amateur entries are open to male amateur golfers who have an up-to-date WHS Handicap Index® not exceeding 8.4 issued through a member club of the TGA, and reside in the region relative to their respective championship. The delineation between the North and South regions is the 31st parallel in Salado.

The format for the 84-player starting field in both Regional Amateurs is 54 holes of individual stroke play with no cut. The top three finishers and ties receive automatic exemptions into the 2024 Texas Amateur. Additionally, the top two mid-amateur (age 25 and older) finishers and ties earn exemptions into this year’s Texas Mid-Amateur to be held Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at Midland Country Club.

Starting times and pairings for the first and second rounds of both championships will be posted on the TGA website no later than Aug. 1. Live scoring updates and daily recaps will also be available online once the action gets underway from Thorntree Golf Club and The Wilderness Golf Club.

At the 2022 championships, Jason Schultz of Allen successfully defended his North Amateur title with rounds of 72-69-67 at Harbor Lakes Golf Club in Granbury. His 8-under-par 208 total was good for a two-stroke margin of victory over Joe Seth Murphy of Flint. It was the third TGA title of the season for Schultz, who earlier in the year won the North Mid-Amateur and Texas Mid-Amateur Match Play. Brian Comegys of Austin carded rounds of 67-71-68 at Victoria Country Club for a wire-to-wire victory at the South Amateur. Comegys finished at 10-under 206 and five strokes ahead of runner-up David Harrison of San Antonio.

The challenging links-style layout is set against a backdrop of rolling hills, native grasses, and stunning waterfront vistas. Victoria Country Club was founded in 1924 and began as a nine-hole course. The club expanded to 18 holes in 1935 and was designed by Texas Golf Hall of Fame architect John Bredemus. In 1985, an extensive course renovation and modernization project was overseen by Baxter Spann and Joe Finger, also a Texas Golf Hall of Famer.

First played in 2003, the Regional Amateurs are open to male amateur golfers who belong to a TGA Member Club, have a World Handicap System Index® of 8.4 or less and reside in the region relative to their respective championship. The TGA uses the 31st parallel in Salado as the delineation between the North and South regions.

The winner and runner-up in each championship, if eligible, earn exemptions into this year’s Texas Mid-Amateur to be held Sept. 23-25 on the South Course at Abilene Country Club. Additionally, the top three finishers will receive automatic exemptions into the 2023 Texas Amateur.

Live scoring updates, daily recaps, as well as tee times and pairings, will be available on the TGA website once the action gets underway from Harbor Lakes Golf Club and Victoria Country Club.
