Jeremy Gandon, 27, from Valence, France, and a graduate of Kansas State University, shot 10-under par following his rounds of 66-68 to win the Northern Texas PGA Players Tour event by a three-shot margin at the Lakes Course at Firewheel in Garland, Tex.
Garrison Smith of Mansfield, Tex., and Ryan Grider from Lewisville, Tex. posted impressive scores of 7-under par, securing a shared runner-up finish in the tournament. Smith carded rounds of 70-67, while Grider recorded 68-69 for their joint second-place position.
Garrison Smith recently graduated from New Mexico State University, while Ryan Grider, a Baylor graduate, has spent his last two years participating in a total of seven events on the PGA TOUR Canada and KFT.
Gandon, currently residing in Dallas, Tex., can also be referred to as a globe-trotter, as he consistently competes on the Asian Tour, KFT, and PGA TOUR Latinoamérica. Additionally, he participated in a single event on the PGA TOUR at the Houston Open in 2019, achieving a T66 finish after shooting 2-over par.
