  • Amy Bender Qualifies for US Senior Women's Amateur! - Sep 8, 2023

    Exciting Chapter News! Hot off her Women's Tri-County Senior win, our LPGA Amateurs Westchester Member Amy Bender qualified to compete in her first US Senior Women's Amateur!  

    Amy qualified with an 81 at New Jersey National Golf Club. The 2023 US Senior Women's Amateurs, a USGA Championship will be held at Troon Country Club in Scottsdale, AZ, from September 30th to October 5th, 2023. The field for the tournament is 132 players and consists of two consecutive days of stroke play, after which the lowest 64 scorers will qualify for match play. 

    Unfortunately, a schedule conflict will keep Amy from defending her Women's Tri-County Senior Championship title, which is scheduled for the same week. We wish Amy the best of luck and will be cheering her on!


    More information about the US Senior Women's Amateur can be found here.
