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. Reynolds fired an opening round 6-under 66 at The Club at Comanche Trace before turing in a three birdie, three bogey final round that kept him at 6-under and four-strokes in front of runner-up Luke Healy. 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.
