Holding a four-shot lead entering the final round, former pro Coy Dobson closed with 70 to secure a commanding five-shot victory
Coy Dobson never let the field close the gap at the Texas South Mid-Amateur, turning a final-round lead into a commanding victory at Forest Creek Golf Club.
The 33-year-old former PGA Tour Latinoamérica player—now reinstated as an amateur and based in Austin—posted rounds of 67-71-70 to finish at 8-under par, securing a five-shot win in Round Rock.
Dobson set the tone early, opening with a 67 to take control of the tournament before maintaining his advantage through the middle round. He entered the final day at 6-under, holding a four-shot lead, and never wavered. His closing 70—one of just two under-par rounds on Sunday—was more than enough to keep the chasing pack at bay.
John Beringer of San Antonio (73-67-73) and Austin’s Josh Goldstein (70-71-72) shared runner-up honors at 3-under 213, but neither mounted a serious challenge down the stretch.
The week also saw an early exit for defending champion Broc Heyman, a three-time winner of the event, who withdrew after rounds of 72-76. Daniel Depasquale, the 2022 edition champion, finished 6th at 2-over (72-71-75).
In the Mid-Master division (ages 40+), Casey Carnes of Schertz claimed a two-shot victory, posting rounds of 67-75-74 to finish at even-par 216.
The Texas South Mid-Amateur features 84 players competing over 54 holes of stroke play with no cut, while also recognizing the low Mid-Master (40+) performer.
Beyond the title, the championship carries added significance in the season-long South Regional Player of the Year race, with points awarded to the top 30 finishers and ties.
