Westchester Open
The Westchester Open is golf tournament organized by the Westchester Golf Association. It has been played annually since 1920 at member clubs in New York or Connecticut. It was considered a PGA Tour event in the 1920s and 1930s. History In 1971, the 29-year-old amateur David Ragaini played the event. Ragaini was on the Yale Bulldogs golf team during his college years and was a three-time letter winner. However, when he entered the 1971 Westchester Open he hadn't played a competitive tournament since 1964 and been working as a commercial singer for most of his career. Playing against a number of well-known names, like current PGA Tour pro Don Massengale, former Masters champion Doug Ford, and elite amateur Dick Siderowf, Ragaini "stunned" his competition, taking the lead late. The result was still in doubt down the stretch but Ragaini "sank long putts to save pars on the final two holes" to win.
