The Cancer Centers of Southwest Oklahoma received $46,000 via charitable donations during the Halliburton Southwest Oklahoma Championship held at Territory Golf and Country Club. The Adams Pro Golf Tour Series event, played May 22 through 25 and won by Jaxon Brigman, was contested on the 18-hole Randy Heckenkemper-designed course.
Cyndi Crook, director of the Duncan Regional Hospital Health Foundation, thanked everyone involved with the inaugural event that brought in some of the top professional and amateur golfers – many of whom will move on to the Nationwide Tour and ultimately PGA Tour – to the course.
“With the beautiful Territory Golf and Country Club, their professional staff, and the volunteers – combined with the generosity of all the sponsors that stepped up to raise $46,000 to help bring cancer treatment to southwest Oklahoma – the Halliburton Southwest Oklahoma Classic can be deemed a success,” Crook said.
Owners Rick and Barbara Braught were pleased to provide such a significant contribution to the Cancer Centers of Southwest Oklahoma.
“When we first set out to develop The Territory, we had our eyes on not only providing southwest Oklahoma with a top-of-the-bell-curve golf and residential community, but also a better way of life for generations to come,” Rick Braught said. “We are committed to Southwest Oklahoma and this is just one more way to give back to the community we love.”
In all, nearly 100 golfers tested their games on The Territory’s par-72, modified target-style layout that stretches to more than 7,100 yards from the tips. While Notah Begay III – a four-time winner on the PGA Tour and Tiger Woods’ former teammate at Stanford – may have been the most famous participant, it was a pair of former Oklahoma State University standouts who stole the show. In the end, Brigman’s 72-hole total of 15-under topped Tyler Leon’s 10-under effort.
In addition to the Halliburton Southwest Oklahoma Championship, The Territory has hosted the Oklahoma State Amateur, Oklahoma State Senior Amateur and an NCAA Division II Super Regional.
