The 88th annual edition of the Maryland Open Championship takes place Monday through Wednesday at Hillendale Golf Club in Phoenix, Md., conducted by the Maryland State Golf Association.
Five local golfers -- Dirk Schultz, Greg Henry and Ken Lampard of Beaver Creek and Jim Schouller and Brian Boggs of Fountain Head -- will take aim at the top spot on the 6,839-yard, par-72 layout.
Hillendale will host the Open for the first time since 1999, when Schultz began a run of three straight years finishing in second place.
Coming off a 40th-place finish in the recent PGA Professional National Championship, Schultz tees off on Monday at 2 p.m. Schultz was the only golfer from the Mid-Atlantic region to make the cut at the PNC.
