US Senior Open Golf

The first U.S. Senior Open Championship was played from June 26 to June 29, 1980, on the East Course of Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, N.Y., is established as a result of the remarkable growth in senior golf, both at the professional and amateur levels, and the championship attracted 631 entries. >> More alt

 

The inaugural Senior Open was conducted for golfers 55 and older, with a handicap limit of eight strokes for amateurs, and the field included former U.S. Open champions Lew Worsham, Julius Boros, Ed Furgol, Jack Fleck, Tommy Bolt, and former U.S. Amateur Champion William C. Campbell was also a competitor. Roberto De Vicenzo, a national hero in his native Argentina, won with a score of 285, 1 over par. He was four strokes ahead of the runner-up, amateur William C. Campbell. The USGA lowered the age minimum to 50 to make the championship more competitive in 1981, and also believed that lowering the minimum age would place the Senior Open in the mainstream of other senior competitions. At the Portland Golf Club in 1982, Miller Barber won the first of his three Senior Opens. He shot a final round 65 and set the 72-hole scoring record of 282, and also captured the 1984 and 1985 championships. In 1986, Dale Douglass broke Barber's record with a 72-hole score of 279, and Gary Player lowered Douglass' record by a remarkable nine strokes when he shot a 72-hole score of 270 at Brooklawn Country Club in Fairfield, Conn., in 1987. He was the only player to shoot four rounds in the 60s until Tom Weiskopf turned the trick in 1995.
