The United States Polo Association today announced that the 2015 U.S. Open Arena Polo Championship® will return this Sunday, July 26 to Country Farms Polo Club in Medford, Long Island, New York for its fourth year. With roots dating back to 1926, arena polo’s premier national tournament will feature America’s top arena players as they compete for the most coveted arena polo trophy. The final begins at 7PM and will be live streamed on Chukker.TV.

 

Cedar Croft will defend their title with Felipe Viana, a key member of the Team USPA squad that was runner up at the 2015 FIP World Championship finals in Santiago, Chile, and Kris Kampsen who led Cedar Croft to the U.S. Open Arena Polo Championship for the past two years.  Leading the Equuleus team is Tommy Biddle, one of two players in the world who have attained a 10-goal handicap – the sport’s highest. Equuleus may have another ace up their sleeve in English professional, Jonny Good, who will travel across the pond to make his tournament debut.
