Super Senior Division – Wade Botts (Marksville)
After opening with a 77 on Thursday, Botts posted a bogey-free 67 (-5) in the second round, the lowest score of the championship to date.

Botts carded birdies on holes 1, 8, 10, 14, and 15, and navigated the firm greens and tight approaches at Koasati Pines with precision throughout the day. He played the front nine in 32 and closed with a steady 35 on the back, securing the Super Senior title with confidence.
Legends Division – David Hebert (Broussard)
Hebert showcased remarkable consistency throughout both rounds, beginning with a 73 (+1) on Thursday and following it up with a 74 (+2) on Friday, culminating in a total score of 147 (+3). His reliable ball-striking and adept course management enabled him to maintain his lead in the Legends Division, even in the face of difficult pin placements and variable wind conditions.
