Four Amateur Golfers Crowned Champions at 71st Annual Saginaw District Golf Tournament

Despite torrential rain forcing cancellation of  the first day of play between a field of thirty-six highly competitive amateur golfers at the 2025 Saginaw District Golf Tournament held this year at The Saginaw Country Club over the weekend of June 20-21-22,  four talented amateur golfers secured top honors in the Open and Legends divisions of this respected competition, which was developed back in 1955 to determine the best amateur golfers in Saginaw County.

Mike Wenglikowski of Saginaw Country Club emerged as the overall champion, capturing his fifth Saginaw District title in six years with back-to-back rounds of 70–70 (140) to finish 2-under par, six shots clear of the field.
