    Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906. After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 2017, The MGA welcomed a new Championship Partner, Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf is the presenting sponsor of the Met Open Championship. Eligibility The competition is open to golfers who are: 1. Past MGA Open Champions. 2. PGA Members in good standing in the Metropolitan and New Jersey PGA Sections.

Trammel Trophy alongside some of the game’s greatest players. The Open returns to Old Westbury for the third time and the first since 2005, when John Stoltz of Con - cord Monster became just the seventh amateur to Danny Balin ever win (he’s also the last player to do so). The championship will be contested on the challenging Overlook and Woods nines and will be played to a par 71 of 6,978 yards. Headlining the field in one of the nation’s oldest and most prestigious regional open championships are 18 past champions, including Danny Balin of Burning Tree, who will return to defend the title he captured by one stroke at Plainfield in 2012. Balin, who recently played in his fourth straight PGA Championship, is coming into the event in top form, having recently defended his title at the NYS Open. A strong contingent of other past champions are also in the field, including 2011 champ Tyler Hall of Packanack, Bob Rittberger of Garden City Golf (’10), Andrew Giuliani of Trump National – Westchester (’09), Frank Bensel of Century (’07), John Guyton of Metropolis (’06), Jim McGovern of White Beeches (’87), Mike Diffley of Pelham (’91), Mike Burke of Montammy (’97), Mark Brown of Tam O’Shanter (’99), and Mike Gilmore of Winged Foot (’00).
