Final Qualifying: Shot 67 at Miami Valley Golf Club, in Dayton, Ohio, on June 1

The former University of Central Florida competitor qualified for his third U.S. Senior Open by sharing medalist honors at Miami Valley Golf Club, in Dayton, Ohio, on June 1. Three of his four professional victories have come on the Nationwide Tour (now Korn Ferry Tour), the last coming in the 2006 Oregon Classic. His other two wins came in 2002 at the Virginia Beach Open and Hershey Open. In 2003, he tied for 10th in the U.S. Open at Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club. He turned professional in 2001. Kresge's two sons were diagnosed with autism and he has gone public with two-time U.S. Open champion Ernie Els about the disorder. Kresge was the Honorary Walk Chair for the Nov. 15, 2008 Orlando Walk Now For Autism, a fundraiser for Autism Speaks. In September 2009, Kresge along with Els and 18 other PGA Tour players held a charity Pro-Am at Ridgefields Country Club, in Kingsport, Tenn., for his Autism Charity: Kresge's Krew Foundation. The foundation again held their annual tournament at Ridgefields in 2010 and 2011.
