The U.S. Golf Association has announced sectional qualifying sites for the 2016 U.S. Senior Open Championship, to be held at Scioto Country Club in Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 11-14. Scioto Country Club is hosting its second U.S. Senior Open and its fourth USGA championship. Conducted over 18-holes, the qualifiers will take place between June 14 and July 11.
“The U.S. Senior Open is senior golf’s most prestigious championship, and we appreciate the support of state and regional golf associations that allows sectional qualifying to be conducted nationwide,” said Stuart Francis, USGA Championship Committee chairman. “The USGA is please to return to Scioto Country Club for the first time in 30 years, when it hosted its first Senior Open, and on the occasion of the club’s centennial.”
Dan Pooley (2003) is the lone player to win the U.S. Senior Open after qualifying through sectional play. Last year, 24 players who advanced through sectional qualifying made the 36-hole cut in the Senior Open at Del Paso Country Club, in Sacramento, Calif. Last year marked the fifth consecutive year that a sectional qualifier has posted a top-10 finish.
To be eligible, a player must have a Handicap Index® not exceeding 3.4 or be a professional, and be 50 years of age at the start of championship play.
