The final round on the East Course will be played in a shotgun format which will begin Saturday morning with a 9:00 a.m.

Last year the Canadian duo of Simon McInnis (Toronto, ONT) and Garrett Rank (Elmira, ONT) captured the Mid-Amateur title. However, neither player is back for the 2016 edition. In the Senior Division Don Erickson (Dubois, PA) and John Benson (Punxsutawney, PA) won the crown and they are back this year hoping to defend.

Oak Hill Country Club was designed by Donald Ross, but former member John R. Williams had just as important an impact in shaping the character of this championship course.

After course construction was complete there was no money left over to plant trees, so Williams, a retired physician decided to take it upon himself to provide Oak Hill with the tree lined fairways we see today. Williams contacted arborists from around the world to gather acorns from oaks to be planted on the property. Over time Williams planted over 40,000 trees with acorns gathered from many locations including George Washington's Mount Vernon home, the Shakespeare Oak at Stratford-on-Avon and Sherwood Forest.

Over the years the East Course at Oak Hill Country Club has hosted three U.S. Open's, three PGA Championships, two U.S. Amateur's, one U.S. Senior Open, a Ryder Cup and a Senior PGA Championship.

Notable winners include Lee Trevino (1968 U.S. Open), Jack Nicklaus (1980 PGA Championship), Curtis Strange (1989 U.S. Open) and at the Ryder Cup it was Europe winning on American soil.
