U.S. Pro Hickory Golf Championship Results

Bill Fields filed this slideshow from the event on Monday, hopefully this means an article is coming as well.

But in the meantime, here's the release. 

Ferreira from Kingwood, Texas Survives the Challenging Temple Terrace Course and Strong Field to Capture the United States Professional Hickory Golf Championship

Battling wind and length, Leroux Ferreira from Kingwood, Texas outlasted the weary field of golfers over the challenging 6,400 yard Temple Terrace Golf & Country Club. Playing with clubs dating back to 1910 or earlier, Ferreira was the only golfer able to break 80 and with that by only one shot. David Frost of the Champions Tour finished in second with 81 and Jon Benson from Wesley Chapel, Florida rounded out the top three with 83.

The United States Professional Hickory Golf Championship is the brainchild of Mike Stevens, teaching pro at MacDill Air Force Base and the reigning National Hickory Open Champion. The field of 24 golfers from around the country competed with original hickory shafted golf clubs provided by Dr. Jay Harris of Pinehurst, North Carolina.

The players were battling for a piece of the $5,000 prize fund, and the John Shippen Cup, honoring America’s first professional golfer. The championship played Monday, February 21, 2011 is dedicated to preserving and honoring the history of early golf in America. The golf course was chosen because it hosted the original Florida Open in 1925 and remains true to its 1922 Tom Bendelow design.
