TY qualified for the 104th Texas Amateur presented by Insperity. This year the event will be held at Lakeside Country Club in Houston, TY's hometown. The past champions lists reads as a who's who from the PGA TOUR with Texan greats such as Ben Crenshaw, Mark Brooks, Bob Estes, Scott Verplank and Bruce Leitzkie all wining the championship during their amateur days.
TY qualified at Comanche Trace, a course that we've played the last few years, although we had never played the third nine which TY finished on. He birdied the par 5 4th and turned in two over par 38. He then birdied 12 and 14, but dropped shots on 13, 15 and 16. TY once again took advantage of his length and birdied the par 5 17th by curling in a seven footer. After a green in regulation on the 18th, he negotiated 75 feet in two putts to secure his par and post a 74, avoiding a playoff for the final spot.
