Judd Gibb Makes Cut at United States Senior Open with Late Push

Fort Dodge’s Judd Gibb Makes the Cut at U.S. Senior Open

Fort Dodge resident, Judd Gibb, found himself in a nail-biting situation at the United States Senior Open in Newport, Rhode Island. Gibb needed at least one birdie on the closing stretch of holes to make the cut for the weekend field. And not only did he get one birdie, but he managed to secure two, guaranteeing his presence in the next rounds.

Despite a couple of bogeys that put him in a precarious position, Gibb remained focused and determined. With his son, Andrew, on the bag as his caddie, Gibb navigated the challenging course and finished strong with back-to-back birdies on the 17th and 18th holes. His performance earned him a spot in the top 60 players who would continue playing over the weekend.

Gibb, a seasoned golfer, reflected on the tough conditions of the course, particularly the unpredictable winds coming from the nearby Atlantic Ocean. He praised the course’s history and tradition, despite its lack of trees, comparing it to playing on the moon.

With a potential prize of nearly $12,000 on the line for maintaining his current position, Gibb is set to compete in the next rounds alongside his fellow players at the top of the leaderboard. As he prepares for the weekend rounds, Gibb is ready to face whatever challenges come his way and continue his pursuit of success at the U.S. Senior Open.
