Vail Golf Club, a former longtime home of the Jerry Ford Invitational pro/celebrity tournament, will be the site of Monday’s qualifying event for the U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur.
From that site, eight players out of a field of 26 will advance to the national championship, set for Oct. 7-12 at Quail Creek Country Club in Naples, Fla.
Susie Roh of Denver, the medalist in Colorado-based U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Qualifying last year, will be seeking a second consecutive trip to the national championship on Monday.
Others who qualified in Colorado along with Roh last year and are in Monday’s field are Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Janet Moore, Tiffany Maurycy and Meghan Christensen. Maurycy advanced to the round of 64 at the 2016 U.S. Women’s Mid-Am.
Three players who recently qualified in the Centennial State for the U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur also are scheduled to compete at Vail Golf Club: Moore, fellow Colorado Golf Hall of Famer Christie Austin and Marilyn Hardy, who made it to the round of 16 at last year’s U.S. Senior Women’s Am.
Also in the field is Kathy West, who recently placed second in the CWGA Senior Stroke Play.
The U.S. Women’s Mid-Am is restricted to golfers 25 and older.
