FORMAT
72 holes, stroke play. The 156-player field will be cut to 70 plus ties starting with the third round.
Should there be a tie after 72 holes, a three-hole playoff using the 16th through 18th will decide the winner. If there is still a tie, it’s sudden death, beginning on 18 and continuing in sequence back to the 16th, then back through the 18th until the tie is broken.
