CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Dana Quigley, whose ironman record for consecutive appearances grows every week, returns to the Chicago area to defend his title at the SBC Senior Open.

However, he will have to do it at a different location. Harborside International Golf Center, a Scottish links-style course designed by Dick Nugent in 1994, replaces Kemper Lakes as the site of annual 54-hole event that begins Friday.

A par-72 layout measuring 6,970 yards, Harborside is located just 15 minutes from the "Loop."

The 55-year-old Quigley will be playing in his 189th consecutive tournament for which he has been eligible and his 175th in a row overall.

"I play golf every day," Quigley said. "Most guys out here weren't in the golf shops 14 hours a day. The last five years haven't been work. Golf is never out of my mind."

He earned his only victory of the year at the Siebel Classic in Silicon Valley in early March and ranks fourth on the money list with $1,144,478.

Hale Irwin and Doug Tewell, two of the three players ahead of Quigley, also are entered this weekend. Tom Kite, third on the money list, is skipping the event.

Also not entered is Australian Stewart Ginn, who last week won the Senior Players Championship, the final major of the year.

Tewell finished fourth a week ago, four shots behind Ginn at 10-under-par 278, while Irwin tied for fifth at 279.

"I'm frustrated with my game at the moment," Irwin said. "Not hitting it close to the hole right now. I thought I was on my game after the 64 on Thursday. It just didn't materialize. Perhaps I'm extending myself more than I should."

Quigley, who has six wins since joining the Senior Tour in 1997, posted a five-stroke victory over Jay Sigel in last year's SBC Senior Open, a tournament that had to be completed on Monday morning due to darkness.

"My three rounds at Kemper Lakes last year I could never equal," Quigley said. "Maybe that's an advantage this week. I won't go around comparing what I did last year."

Orville Moody will be making his 500th Senior Tour start this weekend. He joined the elder tour in 1984 and has won 11 events, including a pair of majors.
