Plymouth Meeting, Pa. (August 24, 2022) — PGA Member Andrew Turner of Berkshire Country Club in Reading, Pennsylvania, led his amateur team, Brenda McHale, Sue Gerhart, and Beth Caputo, to a victory in the 2022 Philadelphia PGA Pro-Lady Team Championship Presented by Parx Casino® on warm, but pleasant day at Sunnybrook Golf Club.

The Berkshire team topped two other teams, all which finished with net 14-under-par 58s, but won the Net Division in a scorecard playoff. The second place teams were Golf Galaxy Langhorne’s Tom Borsavage, PGA, Raysa Santos, Eileen McLaughlin, and Samantha Krier; and Woodstone C.C. & Lodge’s Ray Silnik, PGA, Joy Wallace, Cookie Felchock, and Lisa Somers.

In the Gross Division, PGA Member Kevin Duffy, Riverton C.C., and his partners Louise Yi, Virgil Maderich, and Doreen Lacatena, finished atop the leaderboard with a 6-under-par 66, winning by one stroke over C.C. of York’s Parks Price, PGA, Karen Campbell, Karen Ebner, and Karen Traynham. Bidermann G.C.’s Brenden Mitchell, PGA, Anna Kittelson, Dawn Schieffer, and Mary Harding Cist tied for fourth place with Merion G.C.’s Joanna Coe, Loraine Jones, Margery Cooper, and Ann Roberts, following their rounds of 4-under-par 68.
