Frisco – Brookhaven Country Club in Farmers Branch will send eight junior golfers to compete for a national title at the 13u PGA Jr. League Championship Nov. 11-15 at Fields Ranch West at PGA Frisco.
Eight junior golfers from across North Texas will compete as Team Texas, coached by PGA of America Golf Professional Joey Anders and Assistant Coach April Pyle.
Team Texas will join 11 other All-Star teams representing 12 states in pursuit of the national championship, bringing together some of the country’s top junior golfers ages 10-13.
Brookhaven won the 13u PGA Jr. League national championship in 2023 under coaches Joey Anders and April Pyle. Both return this year to lead a new group of junior golfers in pursuit of the club's second national title.
“It’s an honor to represent Brookhaven Country Club and the Northern Texas PGA Section on the national stage again,” said Anders, a PGA Golf Instructor at Brookhaven. “Having won this championship in 2023, we know what it takes to compete at this level. This group has worked hard, and I’m proud of their teamwork, dedication and sportsmanship. We’re excited for the opportunity ahead.”
This year's Team Texas roster includes Joretta Wu (Plano), Cole Murphy (Gunter), Knox Triesch (Plano), Sheperd McCrillis (Arlington), Shirley Park (The Colony), Dean Lalani (Coppell), William Park (The Colony) and Reed Rodriguez (Aledo).
The championship opens Wednesday, Nov. 11, with a skills challenge, followed by practice rounds Thursday. Team competition begins Friday, Nov. 13, with the first of two 18-hole team aggregate stroke-play scramble rounds. The top four teams advance to Sunday's match-play semifinals and championship match.
All three days of competition will be broadcast live on ESPN platforms.
