Seven former champions, including 2015 winner Jon Lindstrom, are scheduled to compete this weekend at the 30th CGA Mid-Amateur Championship, hosted by Saddle Rock Golf Course in Aurora, a former site of the Colorado Open.
The 54-hole event for players 25 and older will run Friday through Sunday (Sept. 23-25).
Lindstrom will be seeking his third CGA Mid-Am title, having also won in 2008. He competed in the U.S. Mid-Amateur earlier this month and will be part of the Colorado squad for next week’s USGA Men’s State Team Championship in Birmingham, Ala.
In fact, all three members of that Colorado team will play at Saddle Rock. Keith Humerickhouse won a record-tying four straight CGA Mid-Ams starting in 2010, and Nick Nosewicz claimed the CGA Match Play title last year.
Joining Lindstrom and Humerickhouse as past champions in the field at Saddle Rock will be Chris Thayer (2014), Robert Polk (2007), Steve Irwin (2003 and ’05), Chris Carlson (2004) and Mike Glaesel (1998).
Also entered are Alex Kephart, who recently qualified for the 2017 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball; 2016 CGA Senior Match Play champ Jeff Oneth; and Robin Bradbury, who advanced to match play his month at the U.S. Senior Amateur.
The original 84-man field will be cut to the low 40 players and ties after 36 holes.
