Will Davenport and
Nick Maccario dominated the field to win the 2025 Champions Cup Invitational Four-Ball at Champions Golf Club, the Cypress Creek Course, in Houston, Tex.
Davenport and Maccario shot 20-under with rounds of 67-64-64 to blitz the field and win by eight shots.
Davenport is ranked No. 16 in the AmateurGolf.com Mid-Amateur Rankings.
Phil Arci/Simon McInnis and Liam Logan/Blake Vinson finished T2 at 12-under, and Kade Stewart/Josh Gibbons and Kristoffer Marshall/Jake Byrum finished T4 at 11-under to round out the top five.
Champions Golf Club was founded by Jack Burke, Jr., and the late Jimmy Demaret in 1957. Since then, Champions has consistently carved its place in golf history, hosting such prestigious events as the Ryder Cup Matches in 1967, the United States Open in 1969, and the PGA Tour Championship (five times, most recently in 2003).
The Cypress Creek course is worthy of the championships it has hosted. It is best known for its massive greens, which offer a myriad of hole locations and require precise iron play to create realistic chances for birdies. The 7th green alone is over 70 yards deep.
Champions epitomize the "tough but fair" design philosophy that ruled at the time it was designed--there are no pushover holes, every shot is well-defended, and a good score must be earned. The course is not without its thrilling shots, however, as evidenced at the par-3 4th (where Ben Hogan famously made a 9 during his last competition on the PGA Tour), the all-carry 8th and 12th, and the bite-off-as-much-as-you-dare tee shots on the par-5 9th and 13th.
The club has an impressive number of low handicaps and a strong sense of its place in the history of Texas golf. The clubhouse setting is ideal for tournament golf, with the huge putting green, practice tee, 1st and 10th tees, and 9th and 18th greens all within view from the clubhouse. To top it all off, Champions also has one of the best locker rooms in golf.

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.
