The East Course at The Broadmoor has hosted the US Senior Open twice previously, Eduardo Romero triumphant in 2008 and David Toms in 2018.

A total of 2,585 hopefuls tried to play their way into the 155-man field, the Australasian presence bolstered by Mathew Goggin, Brendan Jones and Kiwi Richard Lee coming through Final Qualifying.

It is the second year in succession that Goggin has secured a spot in the US Senior Open field at Final Qualifying, he and Jones both advancing at Manor Country Club in Maryland.

The 2005 Thailand Open champion, Lee is also playing his second straight US Senior Open after earning medallist honours at Bend Golf Club in Oregon, joining countrymen Steven Alker and Michael Campbell in flying the New Zealand flag.

Lee is the first of the Australasians to tee off in Round 1 at 11:21pm AEST Thursday, all four rounds to be broadcast live on Fox Sports and Kayo Sports.
