2006 TEXAS AMATEUR CHAMPION: Laredoan Joel Sauceda is all smiles as he poses with a "big check" from the Texas State & Amateur Championship held May 27-29 in Houston TX. Joel endured a grueling 3-day, 7-game event to score 6 1/2 - 1/2 and claim top prize in the amateur section (under 2000). The position shown is from his final round win that earned him the title.
