Westampton, N.J. (June 2, 2025) — PGA of America Golf Professional Anthony Sebastianelli of Rolling Green Golf Club in Springfield, Pa., won the 39th Burlington Classic Presented by WSFS Bank at Burlington Country Club, following a sudden-death playoff with Radnor Golf Foundation’s Hugo Mazzalupi, PGA.

Sebastianelli turned in rounds of 67-68–135 to finish his tournament at 5-under-par. He made par to Mazzalupi’s bogey on the first playoff hole to win. Terry Hatch, Royal Oaks Golf Course, shot a 5-under-par 65, good enough to finish in third place. Jeff Herb, Waynesborough Country Club, Mark Sheftic, Sunnybrook Golf Club, and Austin Barbin, Chesapeake Bay Golf Club, tied for fourth place, four strokes behind the champion.

“This is an event I have wanted to win since 2023, when I lost in a playoff,” said Sebastianelli following play. “I actually got a little emotional on 18, because I really wanted to win it that bad.”

He said his game plan for the final round was to play “boring golf,” fairways and greens, which he said he did well.

“Golf is hard,” continued Sebastianelli. “After I made double bogey on 17, I told myself that golf is hard, which helps me reset.”

He birdied his final hole to secure his place in the playoff.

Sebastianelli went on to thank Burlington Country Club, PGA Member Mike Mack, Tournament Chair John Hanuscin, WSFS Bank, Rolling Green Golf Club, and his wife Emily.

Hugo Mazzalupi took the top prize in the Senior Division, finishing ahead of Hatch by one stroke, and two stokes clear of Mark Sheftic, Sunnybrook Golf Club. John Pillar, Country Club at Woodloch Springs, and Rich Steinmetz, Spring Ford Country Club, tied for fourth place at even-par.

Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Bill Sautter, PGA, finished atop the Super Senior Division with rounds of 76-71–147, bettering Wayne Phillips, Lehigh Country Club, and Greg Farrow, Deerwood Country Club, by three strokes.

Corey Katzen recorded rounds of 74-68–142 to finish as low amateur and win the Marotto Medal by six strokes over Kyle Raudenbush and Pete D’Angelo.

Following the final round, Burlington Country Club presented Philadelphia PGA Section Executive Director a $1,000 donation to PGA REACH Philadelphia, the Section’s 510(c)(3) charitable foundation.
