British Open golf tourney

A British Open golf tournament will be held this Saturday, July 16 and Sunday, July 17 beginning at 9 a.m. at the Thermopolis Golf Course.

Golf professional Donnie Bjorhus said 18 holes will be played on Saturday and 18 holes will be played on Sunday in conjunction with the British Open PGA tournament in Scotland.

“Before they tee off on Saturday, they will pick a PGA player that’s playing in the British Open this weekend,” he said. “That’s essentially their partner for the weekend. The local player, their net score on each day, is added to the PGA player’s score that is playing in the British Open. That’s how we come up with their team score. They have a partner, but it’s a partner that’s playing over 5,000 miles away in Scotland.”

Individuals can register or sign-up at the Pro Shop anytime before the tournament begins on Saturday. The cost is $30 per player.
