DALLAS, TX (March 5, 2017) -- The final round of the TXGA Medalist North #2 was a struggle but David Richards was able to hold on for a three-stroke victory. Beginning the day at The Golf Club of Dallas at even-par, Richards shot a final round 8-over 78 but with the rest of the field struggling as well he was able to hold on for the victory.
Richards only birdied once, on the 17th hole but he was still able to stave off the rest of the field.
Ted Watrip at 11-over was second, Kevin Doskocil was third at 12-over while three others shared fourth at 13-over.
In the Senior Division Bill Ashley sprinted to an 11-stroke victory. Ashely led wire-to-wire and posted a 7-under weekend tally.
Following a first round 3-under 67, Ashley fired a Sunday 4-under 66 that included seven birdies and three bogeys.
Henry Coffman (+4) was second, Brad Kropp (+7) finished third, 2016 Carlton Wood Senior winner Lewis Stephenson (+8) was fourth while Doug Jones-Hopton (+9) earned a fifth place showing.

Ashley then went onto card birdies on the 10th, 14th and 16th holes.
