Burton and Kelly will join players from Division I, II and the NAIA for stroke play competition over three days on the Ryder and Wanamaker courses. Burton and Kelly will open play on May 11 on the Wanamaker Course, which plays at 6.830 yard and carries a par score of 72. They will continue play on day two on the Ryder course, which is slightly longer at 6.875 but has the same par score of 72 as the Wanamaker, before finishing up play back on the Wanamaker.
