The USGA decided on Friday evening that they will push up the start times at the 46th annual U.S. Senior Open.

Now the 60 players who made the cut will play in threesomes with staggered five minute starts alternating between the first and tenth holes. The first pairing featuring Greg Chalmers, Soren Kjeldsen and the only amateur to make the cut, Haymes Snedeker, will go off no. 1 at 7:26 a.m. EDT and will conclude at 9:05 a.m. on no. 10 with the final three men to make the cut in Chad Campbell, David Mathis and Vijay Singh.

The next-to-last group to tee off is Stewart Cink, Padraig Harrington and the current leader, George McNeill, who sits at 6-under. Last year's runner-up, Cink, is currently tied for third with Charlie Wi and Miguel Angel Jimenez at 3-under, while defending champion Harrington is at 4-under.

Other notables who moved on to moving day are Henrik Stenson (-2, T6); Ian Poulter (-1, T10); Ernie Els and 2015 champion Jeff Maggert (E, T16); OSU grad Ryan Armour and 2016 champion Gene Sauers (+2, T31); Retief Goosen and 2014 champion Colin Montgomerie (+3, T41); K.J. Choi (+4, T52).
