RI’s Lussier Competing in Special Olympics North America Golf Championship
Rhode Island’s Chris Lussier is off to Kansas to compete in the Special Olympics Golf Championship this week.
As GolfNewsRI wrote about in 2021, Lussier was born with Asperger’s Syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum, with generally higher functioning.
The North America Golf Championship is being held at Crestview Country Club in Wichita, Kansas from October 28-31.
“Hopefully I come back from the tournament with stories to talk about,” said Lussier.
Lussier, along with his brother who is caddying for him, left for Kansas early Monday morning.
The first day of completion is Tuesday.

Lussier is playing on level 5, which means he will play the tournament as an individual – as opposed to unified.
