The 63rd Annual
Caribbean Golf Championships teed off at the Links Golf Course, Casa de Campo,
in the Dominican Republic on 2 July 2019, with seven countries participating:
Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Puerto Rico,
Trinidad & Tobago.
Last year’s winning men’s team from Cayman
Islands, in hopes to retain the Hoerman Cup, had a strong showing in the first
round tying in the lead position with the Dominican Republic team.
Cayman’s Andrew Jarvis leads the field in the men’s division with a 3-under 68. Payten Wight was tied third after the opening round with 1-over 72. Justin Hastings shot +5 (76), Aaron Jarvis +7 (78), Cameron Leitch +9 (80) and Barry Daly +10 (81).
The Puerto Rican ladies team, who seem determined to take home the George Teale Trophy for a fourth time, are currently tied with Team Trinidad and Tobago. Valeria Pacheco, individual winner in the Ladies division last year, is off to a good start with 2-under 69. The Cayman Islands were in seventh position at the bottom of the standings.
Holly McLean produced
the best round for the Cayman ladies with a 3-over 74 and was tied fifth after
the first day. Lauren Needham was tied 21st with a 15-over 86.
Cayman’s ladies team is made up of a pair of junior players.
The CAGC culminates on Friday, 5 July.
