The women's and men's U.S. Mid-Amateur championships will both begin on Saturday. Sleepy Hollow (Scarborough, N.Y.) will host the men and Stonewall (Elverson, Pa.) will welcome the women.
Two New Englanders have won these events in recent years, both from the same club, Thorny Lea in Brockton, Mass. In 2018, Matt Parziale won the men's U.S. Mid-Am in Atlanta, and Shannon Johnson won the women's the next year in Missouri.
Both events have 36 holes of stroke play before the field is cut to 64 players match play.
Let's meet some of the 19 men and seven women from New England who will compete in their respective events.
