Golf Course: It all started with a vision by Ralph Fair Sr. back in the early 1900s to create a thriving community. By the 1970s, Ralph Fair Jr. transformed the vast piece of land into a premier residential community and a golf course. Designed by one of golf greats, Gary Player not only designed the challenging layout of Fair Oaks Ranch Golf & Country Club, but to also show off its stunning scenery and welcoming atmosphere. The club now offers two premier 18-hole golf courses, the Blackjack Course and Live Oak. The 23rd Texas Shootout is being played on the par-72 Blackjack Course.
Weather: Players were greeted with warm fall weather during the practice round and first day of matches. Temperatures reached mid-80s with a light, steady breeze out of the South.
Saturday Foursome Matches: Foursome matches kicked off with the South Team taking a commanding lead. The South Team took 16.5 of the available 18 points while five of the six matches sweep their opponents for the full three points provided by Nassau Scoring. The only points the North Team were able to collect were from Match #1 where they split 1.5-1.5 points.
Saturday Four-Ball Matches: The South Team opened up the afternoon Four-Ball matches leading the first two matches. After losing all available points in the morning Foursome matches, North Team Senior matches were able to win both matches in the afternoon to secure six points. With a commanding lead after the morning Foursome Matches, the South Team was able to main a heavy lead going into Sunday Singles.
More Info: Singles matches will commence tomorrow at 8 a.m. The South Team will tee off first looking to hold off any late charges by the North Team to win the Texas Shootout for the first time since 2022.
