Langley edges Bryan for OGA Mid-Amateur Championship

Daniel Langley of Shawnee shot rounds of 71-66 at par-71 Oakwood Country Club in Enid to win the Oklahoma Golf Association Mid-Amateur Championship Tuesday by two shots over Phillip Bryan of Mustang (70-69).

Langley, who has retained his amateur status while working on his game with a goal of a professional career since finishing college in 2018, shot 5-under on his final eight holes to pull away.

Langley bogeyed the 11th hole to drop to even-par for his final round, but played the two par-5s on the back nine in 3-under, birdied the par-3 14th and capped his round with a birdie on the tight uphill 18th hole.

“It was a good field, a great course and I’m very happy to have my name on an OGA trophy,” said Langley, who began playing on the Oklahoma Junior Golf Tour at age 11. He played for Shawnee High School before enrolling in Division II Palm Beach Atlantic University in West Palm Beach, Fla., where he played from 2014-18. Since completing his career he has pursued a career in golf, playing and practicing both in Shawnee while maintaining a base in West Palm Beach, where he is a member at Bear Lakes Country Club.

“I’m very fortunate and blessed that my parents (Dana and Mike Langley) are supporting me in pursing this dream,” Langley said. Mike caddied and Dana was watching as he captured the OGA Mid-Amateur.

Langley said the win made up for an otherwise frustrating summer in which his swing has been solid but he has left opportunities on the table at top amateur events and qualifiers. He will compete in the U.S. Mid-Amateur qualifier next week at Meadowbrook Country Club in Tulsa.

Bryan, a former Oklahoma player and assistant coach, was the runnerup in the 2009 USGA Public Links Championship at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Course in Norman.

JR Hurley of Norman took third place at 140 after consecutive rounds of 1-under 70, followed by a tie between Mike Hearne of Yukon (70-71) and Jamie Voegeli of Tulsa (73-68) at 141. Voegeli won the 2020 OGA State Amateur Championship at The Patriot.

“It was just a great field and the golf course was perfect,” said OGA Executive Director Mark Felder. “We want to congratulate Daniel, who has been playing in our events since he could swing. He played great and both his parents were here to watch him shoot that 66 and that was special. Oakwood and host pro Tim Mendenhall could not have been nicer to us and we can’t wait to come back here.”
