Sim, Lee Win 56th MGA/WMGA Mixed Pinehurst
ELMSFORD, N.Y. (July, 22, 2019) -- Kelly Sim of Alpine and partner James Lee of Baltusrol took home the trophy at this year's MGA/WMGA Mixed Pinehurst Championship at Knollwood Country Club. The pair played strong throughout the day carding four birdies on the front nine and following it up with three more on the back nine, earning a 5-under 66 to win the gross division.
Just one shot back was Edgar Lee of Windwatch and Gio Kim of Paramount, whose scorecard included an eagle on the par-five ninth. While Lee and Kim played well, they could not top the strong momentum of Sim and Lee.
There was also a Championship flight for the Long Island Mixed Pinehurst, with Matthew Catton and Malini Rudra of Muttontown Club taking first place with a gross score of 3-over 74.
Carly Peters of Round Hill and Dylan Newman of Brae Burn won the Professional Division, shooting 2-over 73.
While conditions were hot, Knollwood Country Club's grounds crew kept the course in perfect shape for the tournament, which finished just before stormy weather struck the area.
