The Caribbean’s reigning Under-15 Boys golf champion started 2019 with a bang.
In his first tournament of the year, Cayman’s Aaron Jarvis finished 50th overall shooting +18 over-par (306) at the 2019 Latin American Amateur Golf Championships 17-20 January, held at the Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic.
After shooting +4 over-par on day one, the 16-year old rallied on day two to make the cut with his best round of the tournament shooting just +1 over-par (73). Jarvis followed with a round three 77 (+5) and a final round 80 (+8). Jarvis was caddied by older brother Andrew.
It was a frustrating outing for Payten Wight, who had his father as his caddie.
In his fourth appearance at the Latin American Amateur Golf Championships, 2018 Cayman Islands Golf Association (CIGA) national champion Payten Wight missed the cut after shooting an opening day 81 (+9) and a round two 77 (+5), who was caddied by father Michael.
Mexico’s Alvaro Ortiz shot -14 under-par (276) to win both the tournament and entry into the 2019 PGA Masters.
