WHEREAS, Texas Terry of Lexington represented his namesake
state with great distinction by winning the title in the
under-eight division at the 2021 U.S. Kids Golf World Championship
tournament, held July 29 to 31 in Southern Pines, North Carolina;
and
WHEREAS, Competing alongside 120 golfers from around the
world, Mr. Terry turned in an exceptional performance, tallying a
three-day total of 108 strokes over 27 holes; he opened with a
tournament-best round of 34 and followed it up the next day with a
38, which placed him in a tie for first place entering the final
round; with the crown on the line, he carded a 36 to capture the
under-eight championship by one stroke; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Terry's exciting victory followed close on the
heels of an impressive showing earlier in the week at the
Parent/Child World Championship at Longleaf Golf and Family Club,
where he teamed with his father, Jim Terry; the duo recorded a round
of 27 that included a remarkable pair of eagles and six birdies to
win the one-day event by three strokes; and
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an unwavering commitment to
excellence, Texas Terry has proven himself one of the best young
golfers in the country, and he may reflect with pride on his
outstanding accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby congratulate Texas Terry on
winning the 2021 U.S. Kids Golf World Championship in the
under-eight division and extend to him sincere best wishes for
continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Terry as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
