SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (JUNE 17, 2025) – The 2025 Jets.com Tradition Championship brought 143 PGA of America Members and Associates to Briggs Ranch Golf Club for two days of premier competition. The event featured exciting action in both the Senior and Open Divisions. In the Senior Division, PGA Life Member Omar Uresti posted rounds of 69-71 for a tournament total of 140 ( -4 ), coming from two shots behind to claim the title. Uresti and first-round leader Chad Donegan, PGA General Manager at Landa Park Golf Course, kept the leaderboard tight throughout the final round, with the battle going all the way to the final hole before Uresti sealed the win. "It felt really good to secure a victory here. I haven't had complete trust in my swing recently, but I still hit a lot of good shots and had some great putts that just didn't fall. The course was a lot firmer this year than it was last year, so it put more weight on each decision. All around, it was a lot of ups and downs, but I am excited to be back and win another major." The Open Division delivered plenty of drama as well, with strong play across the field on Day 1 that saw the Top-17 players finish under par. Austin Wylie, Assistant Professional at Mac Wylie Golf Center, entered the final round with a two-stroke lead and was aiming for back-to-back Major victories. However, after a day of great golf, Jeremy Nevius, Assistant Professional at Austin Golf Club, and Steven Chervony, Assistant Professional at Austin Country Club, would play their way to the top of the leaderboard. Fittingly, after spending the entire final round paired together, the two had the opportunity to head back out together for a playoff to decide the Championship. “I was excited for the chance. When Steven and I finished our round, I checked the scoreboard and didn’t think we were even in the mix,” said Nevius. “It felt like a blessing just to play Hole 18 one more time.” As the pair drove to the 18th tee, they took in the sunset over Briggs Ranch before heading into the playoff. After finding the fairway bunker with his drive, Nevius attacked the flag and gave himself a chance to apply pressure. “The putt was sweet. I think I just willed it in,” Nevius said. “I’d been in that bunker earlier, and the hole location set up perfectly for the shot shape I’d been playing all day. Steven is so good — he doesn’t miss. Playing with him all day and knowing it was him in the playoff added some nerves. I’m just so pumped to get this win.” The Southern Texas PGA extends its sincere thanks to Derrick Dixon, PGA General Manager, Mike Frost, PGA Head Professional, and the entire team at Briggs Ranch Golf Club for another incredible year of championship golf and outstanding hospitality. A special thank you as well to our Title Partner, Jets.com, and to our Presenting Partners: Levelwear, PRG, nexbelt, Hole-in-One U.S.A.
