Corning, CA- The Northern California Section of the Professional Golfers Association (NCPGA) is pleased to announce Sevillano Links at Rolling Hills Casino is the new home site of the Northern California Open Championship. This rich-in-tradition tournament will be contested September 13-15, 2010 at the nationally-ranked, John Daly Signature-designed course (Corning, CA) located north of Sacramento on the I-5 corridor.
The Northern California Open Championship is a 3-day, 54-hole stroke play event which will attract a field of seasoned players from various courses and clubs throughout the Western United States. An impressive list of players find their names etched on the tournament trophy including defending champion Todd Fisher, as well as George Archer, Matt Bettencourt, Peter Jacobsen, Tony Lema, Roger Maltbie and David Sutherland, to name a few.
“Our links-style course was designed with great precision and detail, and always with the intention of hosting a championship of this caliber,” stated PGA General Manager Brian Dahmer. “For those who’ll be contending in the 2010 Nor Cal Open, there’s no question our course will be an ultimate test of talent.”
Conducted by the Northern California PGA (NCPGA) in conjunction with the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA) this championship has been contested at various venues over the years, prior to securing Sevillano Links as its new home. “It has been our desire to establish a home site for the Nor Cal Open at a premier golf course, one that maintains impeccable standards and has national recognition,” stated Chris Thomas, executive director with the Northern California Section of the PGA. “Additionally, we’ve been in search of a facility that possesses all the supporting amenities required when conducting a tournament of this stature. Fortunately, Sevillano Links at Rolling Hills Casino meets every aspect of our event criteria.”
