Elmsford, N.Y.--Woodway Country Club’s duo of John Madigan III and Sheila Torgan teamed up to fire a three-under par 68 (34-34) to capture the 38th MGA Mixed Pinehurst Championship today at The Muttontown Club in East Norwich, NY.  The two combined to card a total of three birdies and no bogeys to edge out Alpine Country Club’s team of Adam Kugler and Helen Bernstein, who finished three shots back at even-par 71 (35-36).  Defending champs Vic Gerard and Sherry Herman of Shore Oaks were not on hand to defend their title. 

The championship was played in an 18-hole pinehurst format that had players competing at 40% of their teams combined course handicap.  A total of 168 golfers competed, with prizes awarded to the top four teams in both the gross and net divisions.
