Wisconsin native Steve Stricker (2019) along with Jim Furyk (2021) and Padraig Harrington (2022) have won the previous three U.S. Senior Opens, each in his first appearance. Stricker's six-stroke victory obliterated several championship records, including the 72-hole scoring mark (261). Furyk placed his name alongside some of golf's greats when he became the eighth player to win both the U.S. Open and U.S. Senior Open. Harrington is the first player from the Republic of Ireland to hoist the Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy.

SentryWorld, a public parkland course in central Wisconsin, was developed by Sentry Insurance in 1982 as part of a sports complex that includes indoor tennis courts, banquet space and restaurants. At the heart of the 200-acre property lies the championship layout, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. In 2013, Jones oversaw a major renovation that was led by architects Bruce Charlton and Jay Blasi.

The U.S. Senior Open Championship (www.ussenioropen.com) is for golfers age 50 and older and is open to any professional and any amateur with a Handicap Index® not exceeding 3.4.

About: Glen Turk

Glen Turk is a Wisconsin native and is the Senior Writer/Editor of Midwest Golfing Magazine. Midwest Golfing Magazine was formerly known as Pub-Links Golfer's Magazine and is a free publication distributed four times per year throughout Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, and Ohio.

His duties at MGM include writing course features, facilitating product testing, and overseeing the overall content and look of the magazine. But clearly his most important task is playing as much golf as his wife allows. Fortunately for him, she plays also and loves out-driving him even with a 60 yard head start.

Glen plays to a 6 handicap but once set a record by having his ball retriever regripped 15 times in one calendar year. It was a December trip to Guam that ultimately did him in. Finally, if you haven't caught on by now, the two most worthy weapons in Glen's writing arsenal are self-deprecating humor and pithy one-liners.
