Davis Love III withdraws from 2023 U.S. Senior Open at SentryWorld

Davis Love III withdrew just ahead of the opening round of the U.S. Senior Open at SentryWorld in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Love was selected by U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson to serve as a vice captain for the 2023 matches which will take place from Sept. 29-Oct. 1 at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome. He was one of 72 exempt players in the field and was scheduled to make his third appearance at a U.S. Senior Open.

He was replaced in the field by 55-year-old Tom Werkmeister, the first alternate. Werkmeister went off in a threesome with Jerry Kelly and Kevin Sutherland at 9:42 ET and will play with that pairing through the first two days. The event will be broadcast on Golf Channel from 12-3 p.m. ET and 6-8 p.m.

This isn’t Werkmeister’s first appearance in the event, in fact, it’s his fourth. He finished T-43 in 2019 when the tournament was staged at The Warren Course at Notre Dame, in South Bend, Ind.
