    2017 U.S. SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP NOTES • The 38th United States Senior Open Championship will be played at Salem Country Club in Peabody, Massachusetts from June 26-July 2, 2017. The course will be set up at 6,815 yards and will play to a par- 70 (35-35). Salem Country Club was designed by Donald Ross. The club opened in 1925 and from its humble initiatives evolved one of America’s great courses, deemed one of architect Ross’ finest creations, and anchored by a classic colonial clubhouse. • Salem Country Club will be hosting the prestigious U.S. Senior Open for the second time. It also served as host in 2001 when Bruce Fleisher prevailed by one stroke over Gil Morgan and Isao Aoki. In addition to the U.S. Senior Open, the club also hosted the 1932 U.S. Women’s Amateur (Virginia Van Wie), the 1954 U.S. Women’s Open (Babe Didrickson Zaharias), the 1977 U.S. Senior Amateur (Dale Morey), and the 1984 U.S. Women’s Open (Hollis Stacy). • PGA TOUR Champions is certainly no stranger to the Boston area. In addition to the previous event at Salem Country Club, the Tour had an event in the area from 1981-2008 at Marlboro CC (1981-’83) and at Nashawtuc CC from 1984-2008. The Tour also played the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship at Belmont CC in 2015 where Bernhard Langer won the second of three consecutive titles in that event. • With his recent victory in the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship near the nation’s capital, World Golf Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer won his ninth major title on PGA TOUR Champions, the most by any Tour player.
