46th U.S. Senior Open Championship Notebook

The inaugural U.S. Senior Open, played in 1980, was conducted for golfers 55 and older. The next year, the USGA lowered the minimum age to 50 to match the Senior Tour’s age requirement. Arnold Palmer, who had just turned 50, won the 1981 championship.

Miller Barber captured the first of his three U.S. Senior Open titles in 1982 – he also won in 1984 and 1985. The U.S. Senior Open has six two-time champions: Gary Player (1987, 1988), Jack Nicklaus (1991, 1993), Hale Irwin (1998, 2000), Allen Doyle (2005, 2006), Kenny Perry (2013, 2017), Bernhard Langer (2010, 2023) and Padraig Harrington (2022, 2025).

46th U.S. Senior Open Championship Fact Sheet

Scioto Country Club, designed by Donald Ross, opened for play in 1916. The course was renovated by Dick Wilson in the 1960s, by four-time U.S. Open and two-time U.S. Senior Open champion Jack Nicklaus and Dr. Michael Hurdzan in 2008 and most recently in 2021 by Andrew Green, who reclaimed the course to Ross’ original intent. In addition to the golf course, Scioto has acclaimed facilities and programs for aquatics, fitness, tennis, platform tennis and pickleball. Nicklaus and Bob Jones, two legends of the game, are tied to Scioto Country Club. 

Jones won the U.S. Open, one of his nine USGA championships, at the club in 1926, while Nicklaus honed his game there with teaching professional Jack Grout. Scioto will become the third club to host three U.S. Senior Opens. Saucon Valley Country Club, in Bethlehem, Pa., was a host site for a third time in 2022 and The Broadmoor’s East Course, in Colorado Springs, Colo., hosted its third in 2025.

Titleist GTS4 Driver vs. Tour Edge Exotics LS Driver Review

I took the new Titleist GTS4 driver head-to-head against the new Tour Edge Exotics LS driver recently and the results were expected and surprising.  I tested both drivers with the same 9 degree heads, the same Fujikura Ventus Blue 6S shafts,  used the same Pro V1x ball, and all numbers were recorded using GCQuad.

The GTS4 is going to win some awards.  It's like the craft IPA everyone talks about.  And there are some definite improvements from GT4 to GTS4 I'll touch on below.  However the Exotics LS is going to win over the crowds.  And in some ways Exotics LS legitimately outperformed the GTS4.  By comparison it's like the local lager that quietly wins blind taste tests.

Inside the Mind of a Club Champion Master Fitter: An Iron Fitting Review

Many golfers walk into an iron fitting believing the clubhead is the star of the show.  And while head designs certainly matter, experienced fitters know that the shaft often has the greatest influence on how a golfer delivers the club to the ball.

During an iron fitting at Club Champion much of the session is devoted to identifying the shaft that produces the most consistent strike pattern, ball flight, and dispersion.  And the process is far more sophisticated than simply choosing between flexes or lengths.

Clark Leads by Four After 36 at Shinnecock Hills

Wyndham Clark spent his Friday afternoon watching the U.S. men's soccer team advance to the World Cup knockout round — and why not? Through 36 holes of the 126th U.S. Open, the defending champion owns a four-stroke lead.

His 7-under 133 — built on an opening 64 and a second-round 69 — set a Shinnecock Hills record. The 64 came despite a 4 a.m. wake-up call after Thursday's fog delay pushed his finish into Friday morning. He closed the day in style, draining a 33-footer for birdie on 18.
