Ormand and Woolf shot rounds of 64-69-66-66 to get to 19-under to win by one shot over Matt Vogt and Kevin O'Brien and Charlie Holland, and James Minahan. Vogt and O'Brien and Holland and Minahan finished T2 at 18-under.
Ormand and Woolf shot a 5-under 66 in the final round to hold off the two teams chasing the leaders.
Matt Van Zandt and Alex Warr finished in solo fourth place at 17-under, and Will Griffin and Wesley McClain finished in solo fifth place at 15-under.
When Jack Burke and the late Jimmy Demaret opened Champions Golf Club in 1957, they dedicated themselves to keeping an active amateur golf program in the Houston area.
Four years later, they conceived the Champions Cup Invitational, four rounds of two-man, best-ball stroke competition to be played by the country's outstanding amateur golfers. Participation would be by invitation and only to golfers with three handicaps or lower. Both members of the team must be over twenty-five (25) years of age and must also be from accredited USGA golf clubs. Contestants must walk during the tournament.
Champions is a club solely devoted to golf, with an unusual number of low handicappers among its membership. The club has 400+ members with single-digit handicaps, and 150+ of those are five or below.
Champions had been proud to host many national events, including the United States Amateur Championship in 1993, the first time it was ever played in Texas.

ABOUT THE
Champions Cup Invitational
Champions is Jack Burke's club, and the
Champions Cup is his
invitational tournament. This is a special
place, full of history and
worthy of the championships it has hosted,
which include the Ryder
Cup, U.S. Open, U.S Amateur, U.S. Mid-
Amateur and multiple Tour
Championships. The Champions Cup is a 72-hole
four-ball event with
no cut. It is a very popular tournament that
attracts a very strong,
competitive national field. To be considered
for entry, players must
maintain a maximum USGA handicap of 3, be
at least 25 years old
and submit playing accomplishments to be
considered. Walking is
required but long pants are no longer
mandatory. Contestants are
urged to stay at the homes of Champions
members (at no cost), but
can arrange their own accommodations if
desiring to do so. The tournament formerly
required both contestants
to be from the same state but has since
waived that requirement.
