Shorehaven Golf Club’s Tommy McDonagh didn’t lament a missed three-footer to win the 56th Ike Championship for too long.
He wound up in a three-hole aggregate playoff with Huntington’s Joe Saladino, and won on the second hole of sudden death with a birdie following some exciting back and forth. The 22-year-old Penn State grade came in off a win at the Connecticut state amateur. He finished at 1-over 211.
Sam Bernstein was the highest local finisher. The 19-year-old Century member started the final round one shot off the lead, but immediately took a triple bogey. He finished tied for sixth place at 216. Westchester Country Club’s Max Buckley finished in ninth place at 219. GlenArbor’s Ned Zachar finished in 10th place at 220.
Mahopac Golf Club’s Luke Feehan (223) finished tied for 14th and Sleepy Hollow’s Cameron Young (224) finished tied for 17th.
