Golf director wins tournament, earns exemption into 2019 AT&T Byron Nelson

Golf director Stuart Deane snagged a first-place finish at the Joyce Crane/Veritex Bank Section Championship on Tuesday in The Colony, Texas.

Deane finished the event at 11-under-par 131, eight strokes ahead of the runners-up.

“I played really nice for two days. I made five bogeys, but other than that I played great, so I couldn’t wish for anything different,” Deane said in a PGA press release. “I didn’t play last year because we had our first [UTA] women’s golf event. I was leading the points list last year but didn’t get to play, so this year I had some motivation.
