Sahn and Schindel win Tournament of Champions

July

Trevor Sahn and Erica Schindel have more in common than matching trophies after winning today’s Journal News Tournament of Champions.

Both are celebrating breakthroughs on the local scene.

They also had a taste of major Division I collegiate golf before downsizing. Sahn was at Purdue for a season. Schindel began at Rutgers. Sahn settled in at Drexel, where he is a junior. Schindel has a degree from Hofstra, where she played for three seasons.

Both putted confidently on the massive greens at Tamarack.

“This course sets up perfect for me,” said the 20-year-old Sahn, a Bronxville resident who’s a member of St. Andrew’s. “All you have to do out here is find the fairway and make putts. The greens here are impossible, so it’s good that I was finding the right spots.”

“The course was gorgeous,” said the 27-year-old Schindel, a Harrison native who got in by winning the club championship at Ridgeway and now belongs to Scarsdale Golf Club. “Some of the pin placements were tough. A couple of them were almost hidden.”
