The Sun City Open at Ascarate Golf Course in El Paso, Texas was a fantastic day of competition!
Held on February 28, we had 68 players come out to tee it up under absolutely perfect weather conditions. From start to finish, it was a great atmosphere and another strong showing from our EP/LC Tour players.
Huge thanks to Ascarate Golf Course for hosting us and helping make this event a success. The 2026 season keeps gaining momentum!

Champ Flight
As the season continues to impress, so does this flight with an ending that was one for the books. At the turn one player was leading by three strokes, but the players behind him can make a move quickly. But in the end, the front nine leader would keep his composure and claim the victory. NEW MEMBER RJ Belk Jr. emerged victorious with a -2 (69), marking this his FIRST TOUR WIN and the second under par champion of the season! Marshall Daniel would take second place with a +2 (73).

A Flight
Our next flight would have one member showing everyone how to be consistent and never look back. At the halfway point, the leader had a two stroke lead, but everyone would try to catch him and just couldn't. Craig Blevins would return to the tour and claim his first victory with a +1 (72). Drake Wehrs would take second place with a +5 (76). Craig would earn a promotion to CHAMP FLIGHT!!!

B Flight
This flight is always exciting because everyone gets a shot at winning! At the halfway point, one Member was the leader by two strokes with five Members within comeback distance. As the winds would pick up it would come down to the final two holes to determine a champion. Mark Shaw made a return to the winners’ circle with a +6 (77), securing his 3rd TOUR WIN. Jerome Bingham would take second with a +7 (78), and Chris Rocha would edge out Roy Littleton & Mario Villa for third by a scorecard playoff.

C Flight
With the biggest field of the event for the third time this year in a row, anyone was capable of taking the victory. At the turn, we would have a third of the field in contention and only a triple bogey away from the lead. It would come down to the very end and we almost had a playoff depending on how a putt would go. NEW MEMBER Ruben Herrera would win with a +11 (82), marking his FIRST VICTORY ON TOUR. Orlando Almeida would take second place with a +12 (83), and Ray Belk Sr. would take third with a +13 (84). Ray would earn a promotion to B FLIGHT!!!

D Flight
Our final group is always a blast, and anything can happen until the very end and even had a first for us this season! At the turn, the entire field was in the running, and with only nine holes to go, it was anyone’s game. In the end, one player would be in the clubhouse with the lead and having to wait to see what happens with the groups behind him. As the sun was going down, we would find out that a PLAYOFF is needed to determine our champion. As darkness approached we would find out that it would take a par on the second playoff for Manny Munoz to take the victory win with a +19 (90), marking his FIRST VICTORY ON TOUR. Joe Espinoza would would be the other Member in the playoff and taking second, and German Macias would take third with a +20 (91).
