State Team Championship Takes Final Bow A fter a distinguished run, the State Team Championships are being retired after this year’s Women’s State Team at The Club at Las Campanas in Santa Fe, N.M., set for Sept. 26-28. Each event will have been contested 12 times. Last fall, Team Connecticut held the lead heading into the final round of the Men’s State Team Championship, eventually finishing in a tie for fifth place. During its tenure, the State Team Championships saw all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico send teams to the competition, which used a 3-count-2 format to determine the team’s score for each round of the 54-hole event. The retirement of the State Team Championships, coupled with the addition of the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Open Championship, to be held on July 12-15 at Chicago Golf Club, in Wheaton, Ill., transforms the USGA championship model starting in 2018. www.csgalinks.org CSGA Links // April, 2017 | 7
