Markham quickly took the solo-lead in the final round after three consecutive birdies on the par-3 third, par-5 fourth and par-4 sixth. He went out in 3-under 33 and held a one-shot advantage with nine holes to play. Markham, playing in his first West Texas Amateur, remained steady on the back nine. He battled with playing competitor and 36-hole leader Travis Woolf throughout the final round. Following a disappointing double bogey on the par-4 17th, Markham and Woolf were tied heading into the final hole. Woolf found the native grass left of the green on his approach shot and made bogey. Markham seized the moment and made a routine par to win the 91st West Texas Amateur.
Woolf posted 2-under 214 for the championship and finished second. Rick Houston of Fort Worth, Will Adams of Odessa and Neil Dufford of Midland finished at 2-over 218 and tied for third. Andy Lopez of Dallas and Brian Scherer of Midland tied sixth at 3-over-par 219 overall.
Chuck Palmer won the Senior Division after three straight rounds in red figures. The 2015 West Texas Amateur Senior Champion finished the 54-hole championship at 4-under par and tied with Ed Brooks of Fort Worth. Palmer and Brooks played the par-4 tenth in a sudden-death playoff. Palmer stuffed his approach shot and tapped in his birdie to solidify the victory.
Doug Hopton-Jones won the Super-Senior Division by two strokes and at 3-over-par 219 overall. He adds this win to his 2002 West Texas Amateur title.
