Richard Bland has secured his second consecutive senior major championship by winning the 2024 U.S. Senior Open at Newport CC. Bland's victory was highlighted by a remarkable bunker shot that landed just two inches from the hole, securing his win after a playoff that extended four holes. This triumph marks Bland's second senior major title in as many starts, following his first career Euro Tour title at the age of 48. Bland expressed his elation, stating, 'This is very special, I'm struggling to put this into words right now ... Thrilled beyond words.' Despite his success, Bland remains banned from playing on the Champions Tour. His next challenge will be the Kaulig Co. Championship, starting a week from Thursday.
