The United States Golf Association today announced that The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs will be the host site for the 2018 U.S. Senior Open Championship. This will be the eighth USGA championship contested at The Broadmoor and the sixth on the resort’s East Course. The dates for the championship are June 28-July 1.
Donald Ross designed Broadmoor’s East Course, which opened for play in 1918. The East Course is now a combination of holes from Ross’ original layout and holes that were designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1952.
The Broadmoor’s East Course was the site of the 2008 U.S. Senior Open, when Eduardo Romero became the second Argentinean to win the Senior Open, joining 1980 champion Roberto De Vicenzo. Romero finished at 6-under-par 274, including a third-round 65, to post a four-stroke victory over Fred Funk.
The U.S. Senior Open Championship was first played in 1980. The championship is open to any professional and amateur golfer who is 50 years of age.
