The EP / LC Tour Final brought the 2026 local season to a close with two great days of golf!
Held on September 26–27, players took on Painted Dunes Desert Golf Course in El Paso for Day 1 before heading to Picacho Hills Country Club in Las Cruces for Day 2. With great weather throughout the weekend, conditions were perfect for one last battle to finish out the season.
Two different courses, 36 holes, and plenty on the line made for a fitting way to close another great year.
Congratulations to all of our Tour Final champions and to every player who competed throughout the season. Thank you to Painted Dunes and Picacho Hills for hosting us, and to all of our members for another incredible year of golf!

Tournament Results

A Flight
This flight had some big fire power to start our Tour Final for 2026. After Day 1 our leader would have a comfortable lead, but going into Day 2 at his home course it would be make it or break it for him. Day 2 we would see him cruise to a victory and beating everyone by ten strokes or more. Dan Duran would take this victory with a +17 (161 Total) and making this his 1st VICTORY OF THE SEASON & 10th OVERALL!!!

B Flight
For our next flight it was a battle that took place on Day 2 that would see something we haven't seen much this season. After Day 1 our Leader from the Dallas / Fort Worth Tour would have a great round but would have most of the field only five strokes back. On Day 2 though we would see a battle and it would come donw to an extra hole needed to determine a champion. After the one playoff hole, Jordan Morrow would take the victory in style with a +20 (164 Total), securing his 3rd TOUR WIN THIS SEASON & 12th OVERALL!!!. Sai Duvvuri would take second after the playoff hole.

C Flight
This flight would have once again a roller coaster of a leaderboard throughout the weekend like every Major event we had all year. After Day 1, our leader would have a slim lead, but anything could happen at a tougher course and with the talent that was behind him. On Day 2 we would see the leaderboard change throughout the day. At one point with only a couple of holes left, we had a fourway tie for first place. But in the end it would come down to two players and a playoff hole needed to determine our champion. Ruben Tavera would take down the back to back champion with a +29 (173 Total), marking his 1st VICTORY OF THE SEASON AND 4th OVERALL!!! Alberto Pedraza would take second place after the playoff, and Stephanie Cieslik would take third and miss the playoff by one stroke with a +30 (174 Total).

D Flight
Our final group would have a strong start from being to end. After Day 1 our leader was ahead by three strokes to half the field. On Day 2 though, we would see that lead come down for most of the round with a tie at one point. Would we have our third consecutive playoff or would someone come out on top. After the dust settled we would see that a champion would be made with no playoff needed. Maurice Frank would take the victory with a +40 (184 Total), marking this his 1st VICTORY OF THE SEASON AND 3rd OVERALL!!!
