A couple of Coloradans who have qualified for multiple U.S. Senior Opens in the last decade, Ron Vlosich of Lakewood and Doug Rohrbaugh of Carbondale, are scheduled to play in Thursday’s Senior Open qualifying tournament at Meadows Golf Club in Littleton.
A field of 77 golfers will compete over 18 holes for two berths in the U.S. Senior Open, which is set for June 29-July 2 at Salem Country Club in Peabody, Mass. The 2018 U.S. Senior Open will be contested at The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs.
Vlosich has qualified for the U.S. Senior Open five times, including last year. Rohrbaugh, who had conditional status on PGA Tour Champions in 2015, has gone to three U.S. Senior Opens, most recently two years ago.
Also in Thursday’s field are Utahn Steve Schneiter, who in the fall won the national Senior PGA Professional Championship; Mike Northern of Colorado Springs, who recently played in the Senior PGA Championship (along with Schneiter); Colorado Golf Hall of Famers Kent Moore, John Olive, Tom Woodard and Vlosich; three Coloradans who posted top-10 finishers at last week’s CoBank Colorado Senior Open (Rick Cole, Dale Smigelsky and Doug Wherry); three-time CGA Senior Player of the Year Robert Polk; and Wyoming resident John Hornbeck, who joined Vlosich in qualifying for the 2016 U.S. Senior Open.
