Tee times for the first round at Burlington Country Club
Bryson Richards’ attempt to win back-to-back crowns and a third title since 2021 begins this week when the Vermont Amateur returns to Burlington Country Club for its 100th year.
123 golfers will compete in the 118th edition of the Vermont Amateur. The three-day, 72-hole tournament begins on Tuesday morning.
Richards, the former U-32 high school and Rhode Island star, won the Vermont Amateur last summer on his home course at the Country Club of Barre for his second championship title. Burlington Country Club’s Michael Walsh, who finished runner-up to Richards in 2023, is also in a field that includes 17 of last year’s top 20 players.
Other well-known golfers include Garren Poirier, the 2020 winner, and Evan Russell, who won a thrilling playoff for his second consecutive Vermont Amateur title in 2014, the last time the BCC hosted the championship.
This year, the tournament is being hosted by BCC, located in Burlington’s hilltop neighborhood, as the club celebrates its 100th anniversary.
Of last summer’s top 20 finishers, 17 are registered: Richards (first), Walsh (second), Austin Giroux (third), Taylor Bellemare (fifth), Cody Semmelrock (sixth), Russell (seventh), Eric Lajeunesse (eighth), Troy Evans (ninth), Troy Goliber (tenth), Lucas Politano (eleventh), Poirier (twelfth), Cory Jozefiak (13th), Brody Yates (14th), Mathew Smith (15th), Alex Leonard (16th), Ryan Bloomer (17th) and Nick Ojala (18th).
After the second round on Wednesday, the top 40 players (including ties) make the cut and play in the 36-hole final on Thursday.
