Booker, of The Woodlands, won his ninth TGA Championship by three strokes with a 36-hole total of 3-under par 141. After an opening round even par 72, Booker trailed Ivan Lawson by two strokes coming into today’s final round. Booker got off to a good start and was 1-under through his first three holes. He would give the stroke right back on the par four fourth hole. Booker was able to recover quickly and made two more birdies on his way to a 2-under par 34 on his first nine.

Booker dedicated his great play to the amount of golf he has played over the past week. “Last week I played in my club’s Match Play event. That gave me a chance to practice and play and I felt a little sharper than usual coming into this week. It’s a great golf course that rewards good shots. It was a great field that had a lot of good scoring.”

Booker finished his final nine holes with birdies on both of the par fives and a bogey on the par three 14th hole for a second nine 1-under 35.

Booker previously won the South Senior Amateur Championship in 2012 at the Club at Falcon Point in Katy.
