KERRVILLE, TX (February 5, 2017) -- An even-par second round was good enough for Jay Reynolds as he captured the Texas Golf Association's first Hill Country Medalist Series event.

Ross Wilhelm ended up third at even-par while Brian Marchiori and David Collura shared fourth at 5-over.
In the Senior Division the title went to Ron Hackelman with first round leader Bill Woodley settling for second. Bob Berger ended up third.
