The course sits on the southern edge of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of more than 6,400 feet. The East Course is now a combination of holes from Ross’ original layout and holes that were designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1952. The Broadmoor features two other courses, the West and the Mountain, and the resort’s landmark hotel, a 700- room, 18-restaurant facility located on the edge of Cheyenne Lake. COURSE RATING Based on the course setup for the championship, the USGA Course Rating™ is 73.8 and the Slope Rating® is 141. WHO CAN ENTER The championship is open to any professional or amateur golfer who is 50 years of age or older as of June 28, 2018. An amateur is eligible with a Handicap Index® not exceeding 3.4. ENTRIES The USGA accepted 2,680 entries for the 2017 U.S. Senior Open. Entries were filed by golfers in 48 states and the District of Columbia, as well as 25 foreign countries. The record number of entries is 3,101 in 2002. SECTIONAL QUALIFYING Sectional qualifying, played over 18 holes, will be conducted at 34 sites around the country between May 21-June 11. The sectional qualifying sites are located in 26 states, including five in California, three in Florida and two in Pennsylvania and Texas. CHAMPIONSHIP FIELD The starting field of 156 golfers will be cut after 36 holes to the low 60 scorers and ties. SCHEDULE OF PLAY Eighteen holes of stroke play are scheduled each day from Thursday, June 28, through Sunday, July 1. In the case of a tie after 72 holes, a three-hole aggregate playoff will commence immediately after the conclusion of the fourth round. 2017 CHAMPION Kenny Perry played a bogey-free final round of 2-under-par 68 and finished with a string of 12 consecutive pars to win his second U.S. Senior Open title. Perry followed up his opening birdie with four straight pars and his only other birdie of the day, on the par-5 sixth hole at Salem Country Club. By that point, he held a two-stroke lead on Kirk Triplett, which would grow to four by the turn after Triplett made his third and fourth bogeys of the day. Triplett, the 54-hole leader, had made only two bogeys in the first three rounds combined as he built a championship record 15-under total of 195. Perry became the sixth multiple champion of the U.S. Senior Open, and the first winner since Bernhard Langer in 2010 at Sahalee Country Club to play a bogey-free final round. His total of 264 (16 under par) bettered by three strokes the championship scoring mark of 267, set by Hale Irwin in 2000 at Saucon Valley in Bethlehem, Pa., and matched by Perry in 2013 when he won at Omaha (Neb.) Country Club. PURSE The 2017 purse was $4 million; the winner earned $720,000. TELEVISION SCHEDULE The 2018 U.S. Senior Open will receive at least 21 hours of live network coverage.

The first U.S. Senior Open, played in 1980, was conducted for golfers 55 and older. The next year, the USGA lowered the minimum age to 50. Miller Barber captured the first of his three U.S. Senior Open titles in 1982 – he also won in 1984 and 1985. The U.S. Senior Open has five two-time winners: Gary Player (1987, 1988), Jack Nicklaus (1991, 1993), Hale Irwin (1998, 2000), Allen Doyle (2005, 2006) and Kenny Perry (2013, 2017). Doyle became the championship’s oldest winner in 2006 at the age of 57 years, 11 months, 14 days. The youngest champion is Dale Douglass, who won in 1986 at the age of 50 years, 3 months, 24 days. USGA CHAMPIONSHIPS AT THE BROADMOOR This will be the second U.S. Senior Open Championship and the eighth USGA championship to be conducted at The Broadmoor. The Broadmoor’s East Course was the site of the 2008 U.S. Senior Open, when Eduardo Romero became the second Argentinean to win the Senior Open, joining 1980 champion Roberto De Vicenzo. Romero finished at 6- under-par 274, including a third-round 65, to post a four-stroke victory over Fred Funk. In 1959, Jack Nicklaus defeated Charles Coe, 1 up, to win the first of his two U.S. Amateur Championships. The 19-year-old Nicklaus made an 8-foot birdie putt on the 36th hole to clinch the final match, a stroke he says gave him the confidence to become the game’s greatest major champion. Nicklaus would go on to win eight USGA championships, including the 1991 and 1993 Senior Opens. The U.S. Women’s Open Championship has been conducted twice on the East Course. In 1995, Annika Sorenstam shot a final-round 68 to edge Meg Mallon by one stroke (278-279) to win the first of her three U.S. Women’s Open titles. Sorenstam, who won on the 50th anniversary of the championship, became the 13th player to make the U.S. Women’s Open her first American professional victory. In 2011, So Yeon Ryu, of the Republic of Korea, defeated fellow Korean Hee Kyung Seo in a three-hole aggregate playoff, the first time the championship used this format to decide the winner. The two players were tied at 3- under-par 281 after 72 holes. Ryu birdied the last two holes of the playoff to win by three strokes. The Broadmoor’s East Course also hosted the 1962 Curtis Cup Match, when the USA defeated Great Britain and Ireland, 8-1. The USA Team included JoAnne Gunderson Carner, an eight-time USGA champion, seven-time USGA champion Anne Quast Sander, two-time U.S. Women’s Amateur winner Barbara McIntire and Judy Bell, a future USGA president. In 1967, The Broadmoor’s West Course hosted the U.S. Amateur and Robert B. Dickson edged Vinny Giles by one shot when the championship was conducted in an all-stroke play format. In 1982, the resort’s South Course (now the Mountain Course) hosted the U.S. Women’s Amateur, as Juli Inkster defeated Cathy Hanlon, 4 and 3, for her third consecutive title. USGA CHAMPIONSHIPS AT THE BROADMOOR 1959 U.S. Amateur (East Course): Jack Nicklaus def. Charles Coe, 1 up 1962 Curtis Cup Match (East Course): USA def.

  • Zurich Classic Scoring Records
    Zurich Classic of New Orleans Record Book (est. 2017, thru 2019) *2017 & 2018 Format Information: An historic change was made to the format of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2017, making the event a two-player team event featuring Foursomes (alternate shot) during the first and third rounds and Four-ball (best ball) during the second and fourth rounds. A change was made at the 2018 Zurich Classic of New Orleans , with the two formats switching rotations. Rounds one and three in the two-player team event featured the Four-ball (best ball) format, while the second and fourth rounds used the Foursomes (alternate shot) format. Since the formation of the PGA TOUR (1968), the Zurich Classic became the first official event to utilize Foursomes as part of a team competition. The 2017 Zurich Classic was the first official PGA TOUR team event in 36 years. Before that, the last official PGA TOUR team event was the 1981 Walt Disney World National Team Championship held at the Magnolia, Palm and Lake Buena Vista courses at Disney. Vance Heafner and Mike Holland won that title. The tournament became an individual stroke-play event in 1982. The Zurich Classic awards FedExCup points and official money and counts as an official victory for the members of the winning team.

Aaron Eckstein was a two-time captain of the team; Garland Green finished his career ninth on the Tech’s All-Time Scoring list; and Marshall Bailey became only the second Hokie golfer to compete in four NCAA Championships. Head Coach Jay Hardwick’s task has been to continue to develop his returning players while integrating three promising freshmen into the team, all toward the ultimate goal of competing for the national championship. The season began just outside Chicago, Ill., with the Hokies making their first appearance in the Northern Intercollegiate at renowned Rich Harvest Farms, site of the 2009 Solheim Cup. The team finished fourth against a talented field, and junior Mikey Moyers tied for third individually. The Hokies then finished fifth at the VCU Shootout at Hermitage Country Club, much closer to home in Richmond, Va. Freshman Scott Vincent led the team, tying for 11th place on the same course that he had won the Valentine Invitational just a few weeks earlier.

  • Te Western Amateur Championship
    Te Western Amateur Championship Records & Statistics Guide 1899-2020 for te 119t Westrn Amatur, July 26-31, 2021 Glen View Club Golf, Il. 18t editon compiled by Tim Cronin A Guide to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the 119th Western Amateur Championship, and the 18th edition of The Western Amateur Records & Statistics Guide, as the championship returns to the Glen View Club for the first time since the 1899 inaugural. Since that first playing, the Western Amateur has provided some of the best competition in golf, amateur or professional. This record book allows reporters covering the Western Am the ability to easily compare current achievements to those of the past. It draws on research conducted by delving into old newspaper files, and by going through the Western Golf Association’s own Western Amateur files, which date to 1949. A few years ago, a major expansion of the Guide presented complete year-by-year records and a player register for 1899 through 1955, the pre-Sweet Sixteen era, for the first time. Details on some courses and field sizes from various years remain to be found, but no other amateur championship has such an in-depth resource. Remaining holes in the listings will continue to be filled in for future editions. The section on records has been revised, and begins on page 8. This includes overall records, including a summary on how the medalist fared, and more records covering the Sweet Sixteen years. The 209-page Guide is in two sections. Part 1 includes a year-by-year summary chart, records, a special chart detailing the 37 players who have played in the Sweet Sixteen in the 63 years since its adoption in 1956 and have won a professional major championship, and a comprehensive report on the Sweet Sixteen era through both year-by-year results and a player register.
