2017 Gene Sarazen Memorial Invitational Recap

Michael Miranda wins the 3rd annual Sarazen Invitational in sudden death playoff

Michael Miranda of Bethpage State Park won the 3rd annual Gene Sarazen Invitational Championship at Fresh Meadow Country Club on Tuesday, October 24th in an exciting sudden death playoff with last year's champion Daniel Abbondandolo; the playoff went three holes. They both shot 73-72 for 36 hole totals of 5 over par 145; their second round scores were better than their round one scores, which is remarkable when you consider Tuesday featured 40 mph gusts. In the playoff, they both bogied the 18th hole, and then went on to both birdie 17; when they played 18 for the third time that day as the third playoff hole, Miranda sank a 10 footer for birdie to win.
