DEVLIN RETURNS TO FALCONHEAD 63 YEARS AFTER CAREER-SAVING WEEK
By Ken MacLeod

February 27, 2026

It’s hard to fathom that golfers may never have become familiar with the name Bruce Devlin if not a two-week stretch of success in Oklahoma in May of 1963.

But that was the theme of his first return in 63 years to Falconhead Resort in Burneyville this week, where he was feted in another remarkable display by Barbara Sessions, historian and curator of the museum at Falconhead that honors the unique contributions of Waco and Opie Turner but also all of Oklahoma golf.

GOLF OKLAHOMA FEATURES BRUCE DEVLIN; TOUTS THE MUSEUM EVENT AT FALCONHEAD COMING AT 10 A.M. THURSDAY

CHANGE OF SITE FOR EXHIBIT AND PROGRAM FEATURING PGA PRO BRUCE DEVLIN ON THURSDAY

(Burneyville, OK February 23) Take note of the Dining Room of the Country Club as the new site for the Museum Exhibit and Program featuring an appearance by Pro Golfer Bruce Devlin at 10 a.m. Thursday, February 26, 2026, at Falconhead Resort.

The address of the Country Club is 105 Falconhead Dr., Burneyville, OK. Admission is free, and guests are warmly welcomed!

On the program will be legendary pro Devlin, his son, Kel, and Gary Martinolli, editor of The Brassie, the journal of golf heritage of Australia.

The exhibit will highlight Devlin's play in the pivotal 1963 Waco Turner Open, which decided whether he would be able to afford to stay on the PGA Tour or resign and go home to Australia.

Bruce ultimately won 8 PGA and 30 worldwide events by 1972, and this is his first time back to Burneyville since that decisive tie for eighth at the Waco Turner Open made him just enough money in his second year on Tour to continue to pursue his dream.

"The Devil Takes Oklahoma" also features Bruce's ever-better performances at subsequent excellent PGA events that took place in the Sooner State in the 1960s.

It makes for a rich history to have held the 1961-1964 Waco Turner Open in Burneyville; the 1963-1967 Oklahoma City Open, and then the big ones: the 1968 PGA National Team Championship at Quail Creek Golf Club in Oklahoma City followed by the 1970 PGA Championship at Southern Hills in Tulsa.

It will all be on display Thursday!

(While the Oklahoma City Opens were going on, there was LPGA Tour golf happening at Muskogee Country Club. Susie Maxwell Berning and Althea Gibson made their pro debuts there in the 1964 Muskogee Civitan Open. Susie came back in 1965 and won the Muskogee event, a thrilling outcome for the Oklahoman!)

Two relatives of Waco Turner will be honored posthumously in the dedication of the exhibit. Arzella Jones, who passed away in January and her late mother, Beryle Moore, will be cited for their 1998 gift of museum-quality photos of pro golf tournaments sponsored by Waco and Opie Turner. Mrs. Moore was the daughter of Ruby Carter, a sister of Waco Turner.

Those pictures enabled the launch of the Turner's Lodge Pro Golf Museum and writing that has ensued about the inventiveness and generosity of Waco and Opie Turner as LPGA and PGA sponsors in the 1950s and '60s.

They made Burneyville the smallest community ever to host the LPGA and PGA Tours and 9 other professional events also took place here.
