The sixth and “last chance’ qualifier for the 92nd West Virginia Open Championship, hosted by the West Virginia Golf Association (WVGA), took place on Thursday at Bel Meadow Golf Club in Mt. Clare. The event saw 35 golfers tee off in hopes of obtaining one of six qualifying spots available today for the final field of the West Virginia Open which will take place at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course in Hurricane on July 23-25.
“We’re happy to host the ‘Last Chance’ qualifier, and we had a good field on the course today,” said Bel Meadow owner Randy Workman. “We’ve tried to keep the course in great shape, especially given this summer’s weather.”
Thursday’s Medalist was Jace Lancaster of Clarksburg who finished at even par (E) 72. Other qualifiers were:
- Andrew Johnson of Hurricane, (+1) 73;
- Adam Sholes of Charleston, (+2) 74;

“We want to thank Randy the entire staff at Bel Meadow. We also want to thank the folks from Generations Ford and Generations Physical Therapy for their support,” said WVGA Executive Director Chris Slack. “Our field is set and we’re looking forward to being at Sleepy Hollow Golf Course starting Monday.”
