Alex Rossetti carded a 78 Sunday to win the Stamford City Golf Championships at Sterling Farms.

A former Westhill High standout, Rossetti entered the third and final round tied for the lead with Jim Rominello and Cahal McMonagle at 147 after the first 36 holes last weekend. Rossetti ended up posting a one-stroke victory.

In the women’s division, Debbie Johnson, who plays out of Sterling Farms, shot a final-round 77 to win her second straight title and fourth overall.

It is hard enough to compete in a triathlon but add intermittent torrential downpours, and Sunday's 25th annual Volvo Stamford-Greenwich Cup may have qualified as a quadrathlon.

On a course that would normally see the winner finish in an hour or less, the heavy winds on the sound and the wet pavement forced the athletes to navigate the half-mile swim, 15-mile bike and three-mile run course with extreme caution.

Race founder, sponsor and organizer Mickey Yardis, of Threads and Treads, walked up and down the beach and transition stage reminding the athletes that, “even though EMS is all over the course, we would not like to use them.”

Mitch West, 41, of Wilton, was the first elite wave finisher. He navigated the course in a time of 1:10:49. Kevin Farley, 30 and Brian Mailo, 40, both of whom traveled from NYC’s Upper West Side to compete in this event, were second and third, respectively.

In the woman’s elite, Kelly Montgomery, 30, of Wallingford came across the finish line in 1:16:30. She finished sixth overall in the elite division and was followed by Rose Shabet, 30, of Darien, the only other woman to compete at the elite level.
