PNGA crowns champions at both senior women and men

Ginny Burkey of Fircrest, Wash. and Loree McKay of Portland, Ore., shot a final round 1-under par 70 to capture their third consecutive title at the PNGA Women’s Senior Team Amateur Championship at Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton, Wash.

Having won this championship in 2008 and 2009 as well, the victory this week puts them in the company of Pat Krall of Allyn, Wash. and Patti Schillinger of Belfair, Wash. as the only two three-peat champion teams in the PNGA Women’s Senior Team history.

The final round of the 28th Annual PNGA Men’s Senior Team Amateur Championship at Gold Mountain Golf Club was canceled due to heavy rains, which created unplayable conditions. But a one-hole playoff on the 18th helped settle the deal. The team of Larry Gilhuly and Jim McNelis won the playoff hole over John Gallacher and Gudmund Lindberj to win the title.
