The US Open Polo Championship, the most prestigious polo tournament in the United States, will continue with the semifinals on Thursday, April 15, at International Polo Club Palm Beach. The tournament sees nine teams, up to 22-goals, compete.

 

Four strong teams will fight for a place in the coveted final: Title holders Pilot (as the 2020 edition was suspended due to the pandemic, Pilot remain defending champions, having taken the title in 2019); USPA Gold Cup winners Scone; La Indiana; and CV Whitney Cup champions Park Place. They all qualified for the semifinals after defeating Aspen-Dutta Corp, Tonkawa, Cessna and Coca Cola, respectively, in the quarterfinals.
