Scott Krieger, the professional at Broadmoor Golf Course in North Portland, will need a week off next month.

That's because Krieger earned a spot in the U.S. Senior Open by winning a sectional qualifier at Arrowhead Golf Club in Molalla on Thursday.

By shooting a 3-under-par 68 to win by two shots, Krieger advanced to the Senior Open that runs June 25-28 at Del Paso Country Club in Sacramento, California.

Krieger was at even par after he bogeyed the par-4 ninth hole, but bounced right back with birdies on three of his next four holes.

Kevin Burton, a pro at Pierce Park Greens in Boise, Idaho, survived a four-man playoff to earn the other available spot, outlasting amateurs Scott Hval, William Winter and Randall Mahar.

Burton was the head coach at Boise State for nine years before he moved to Pierce Park Greens in 2014.
