We’re kicking off the first few days of spring with a busy week
for Team RSM and golf
fans. The USGA announced this week that Davis Love III
will make his U.S. Senior Open debut this year! Several
publications featured the news, including Golf Week. See an
excerpt from the piece here:
"There's no doubt Davis Love III
still has game. As recently as 2015, the 21-time PGA Tour winner and World Golf
Hall of Famer earned the title at the Wyndham Championship, becoming the
third-oldest golfer ever to win a PGA Tour event.
Love, who has returned to action
since a November hip-replacement surgery, will make his debut at a senior
major, the USGA announced on Monday, with Love accepting a spot into the 2018
U.S. Senior Open at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, Colo. Love turns 54 on
the Friday after this year's Masters, but has remained a mainstay on the
regular tour playing 61 PGA Tour events since turning 50, compared to just nine
PGA Tour Champions tournaments.”
The U.S. Senior Open will take place June 28 through July 1. We’re
looking forward to cheering Davis on!
Over on the course, there are two tournaments underway, and several
members of our Team RSM “family” are joining in on the fun!
First, we have the World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies
Match Play taking place at the Austin Country Club in Austin, Texas. Team RSM Member
