U.S. Senior Open Comes to Omaha

Far Hills, N.J. - The United States Golf Association announced today that Omaha (Neb.) Country Club has been selected as the site for the 2013 U.S. Senior Open. The dates of the championship will be July 8 – 14th, 2013.

It will be the first USGA championship to be conducted at Omaha Country Club. The USGA has previously conducted two national championships in Nebraska: the 1941 U.S. Amateur (won by Marvin H. Ward) at Omaha Field Club and the 1996 U.S. Women's Amateur (won by Kelli Kuehne) at Firethorn Golf Club in Lincoln.

Designed in 1925 and set across 190 acres of farmland, Omaha Country Club completed major renovations and enhancements to the golf course in 2006. These changes, under the direction of Keith Foster, added length and complemented the original design of the course, as well as a 1951 redesign by Perry Maxwell.

"Having the opportunity to host the U.S. Senior Open Championship is a tribute to Omaha Country Club and to Omaha's ability to support major sporting events," said Patrick Duffy, chairman of the local organizing committee. "The Senior Open will bring tens of thousands of fans and hundreds of media to our community, and it will be another chance to put our community in the national spotlight. We look forward to seeing some of golf's greatest players in Omaha."
