ELMSFORD, N.Y. (May 9, 2022) — Qualifying for the Westchester Open Championship Sponsored by Poland Spring this year takes place at two sites. Those advancing will get to be part of history with the 100th playing, slated for June 13-14 at Sleepy Hollow Country Club in Scarborough, N.Y. The Club has hosted three previous Westchester Opens, with Claud Harmon (1951), Terry Wilcox (1964), and John Gentile (1979) claiming victories. Coincidentally, all three wins were part of back-to-back titles for all three players, standing as the second consecutive Westchester Open victory for Harmon and Gentile and the first of two straight for Wilcox.
Qualifiers will complete the field for the 54-hole championship, with those exempt including all 54-hole finishers from 2021 at GlenArbor.
