Ellington, Connecticut (July 18, 2022) – Keith Salamon and Glen Boggini earned the titles on Monday at the Ellington Ridge Country Club One Day Tournament presented by Chris Cote’s Golf Shop.
Salamon won the Tettelbach Open Division with a 1-over 73 that included two birdies and three bogeys. He finished one shot in front of runner-up Glenn Pelt, Jr. Salamon opened his day with a bogey-free 2-under 34 on the front nine with both his birdies coming in a three-hole stretch. His first fell on the par-5 fifth and his second came two holes later on the par-3 seventh hole.

Playing on his home course Glen Boggini fired the round of the day, a 2-under 70, to win the Siderowf Gross Division.
