Strength of field

The field is limited to 133 players who advanced through four qualifying sites, ensuring the state's best amateurs compete for the championship.

Course expectations

The tree-lined parkland layout will demand strategic ball placement and crisp iron play, with the demanding 217-yard par-3 17th and risk-reward par-4s at 14 and 15 deciding many matches.

Weather risk

June heat in Tucson can exceed 100 degrees, testing both physical stamina and mental focus across six days of competition.
