Brothers Omari and Demar James staved off a strong field of challengers to win the fifth annual Lions Club of Antigua Golf Tournament on Saturday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

The Cedar Valley Golf Course was the scene of excitement as more than 30 two-member mixed teams of men women and juniors contested the charity event.<\/p>\n

This year’s competition was changed from the usual 18-hole scramble format to a front nine scramble followed by an alternate shot format on the back nine.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

According to Omari, the older James and the reigning Antigua Open champion, the alternate shot format made the event extremely competitive.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The nation’s top golfer stopped short from claiming that the alternate shot format made the difference in taking the top prize, tickets to St.Kitts.<\/p>\n

Demar is the top junior and one of the Nation\u2019s top golfers as well.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“The alternate shot was always going to be a tough one for the teams and it was good to have Demar playing along with me.\u00a0 “That surely was a plus,” the older James said.<\/p>\n

The James’ finished the tournament with a gross score of 66, three shots ahead of the team of Vincent James, their father and Dion Massiah.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Tedson Weatherill and Curtis White finished third with a gross score of 74.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Former West Indies all-rounder Eldine Baptiste teamed up with veteran golfer Dougie O’Brien to take first net honours with Navin Singh and Ron Manser placing second net,<\/p>\n

Wilson Charles and Hilroy Humphreys finished in the third net position.<\/p>\n

In addition to the overall winners, there were a number of individual awards distributed throughout the various categories.<\/p>\n

Mary Kinnell, O’Brien, Baptiste and Otis Thomas all received prizes for closest to the pin on the par threes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the longest drives, Mark Woodhouse (men) Baptiste (senior) Errol Hodge (super senior) and Kris Karmejian (ladies) took those awards.<\/p>\n

The tournament, one of the many fundraisers put on by the Antigua Lions Club has steadily improved over the years.<\/p>\n

“For the past five years we look forward to this event, which continues to grow,” said Lion George Roberts MJF, spokesperson of the organisation.<\/p>\n

“We continue to work with our sponsors, especially our main sponsor Sun General Insurance without whom we could not have hosted this activity,” Roberts added.<\/p>\n
