Ohio Golf News Canterbury Golf Club to Host Three USGA National Championships The United States Golf Association (USGA) will hold the 2027U.S. Girls’ Junior, 2033 U.S. Senior Amateur and 2039 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championships at Canterbury Golf Club. These will be the sixth, seventh and eighth USGA championships held at Canterbury Golf Club, which last hosted the 1996 U.S. Senior Open, captured by Dave Stockton, who held off a hard-charging Hale Irwin to win by two strokes. The club also hosted the 1979 U.S. Amateur (won by Mark O’Meara), the 1964 U.S. Amateur (won by William Campbell), the 1946 U.S. Open (won by Lloyd Mangrum) and the 1940 U.S. Open (won by Lawson Little). Canterbury Golf Club also hosted the 1973 PGA Championship (won by Jack Nicklaus), four Senior Tournament Players Championships (19831986) and, most recently, the 2009 Senior PGA Championship (won by Michael Allen). “Canterbury Golf Club is proud to continue its tradition of hosting national championships,” said Tim Cercelle, club president. “As we reengage our relationship with the USGA, it’s an honor to showcase our golf course to the world and play host to these prestigious championships that truly embody the spirit of the amateur game and support the next generation of golfers.” Carano & Angelo Earn Another Trip to USGA Four-Ball Championship NorthernOhio.Golf John Angelo and Marcus Carano earned their third straight trip to the U.S. Amateur Four Ball Championship by besting Andrew Bailey and Kevin Carlin in a 7-Hole playoff. Both teams tied for second place at seven-under par in the qualifier held at Catawba Island Club. Carano drained a 30-foot putt to end the drama. Tournament medalists Drew Miller and Lorenzo Pinili birdied their final hole to finish at 8-under par and finish alone in first place “Out the gate we started with an eagle,” Pinili said. “So that got us off to a good start. We had a good start. We were -4 under through five (holes).” The two groups will head to the Kiawah Island Club in South Carolina, May 20-24, for the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship.
