The Ohio Golf Association’s 2026 Ohio Senior Amateur Championship took place Monday – Wednesday this week at Miami View Golf Club in Cleves. After a three-way playoff, James Volpenhein won his third consecutive Ohio Senior Amateur Championship.
This year’s Championship was no easy feat. As the leaderboard shifted throughout the day, regular play ended in a three-way tie between Volpenhein, Greg Keyes, and Robert F. Gerwin II. The three were only 2-over after 3 rounds and headed into a sudden-death playoff.
Keyes was soon eliminated while Gerwin II and Volpenhein battled it out for the win. Ultimately, Volpenhein won the playoff after the second hole and earned his third straight title.
In the Super Senior Division, Mike Cassell kept his day 2 momentum and finished with a 3-day score of 219, leaving him 2 strokes clear of second. The Hudson native carded 3 consistent rounds to earn his title in the Super Senior Division.
