After a mild illness caused him to miss last week’s Paradiso Water Tournament, young Tyler Hughes returned with a bang and outclassed his rivals to claim his maiden golf title.
Playing in the A.S. Bryden and Sons Back to School 18-holes Junior championship, Hughes, who plays off a 17 handicap, shot a gross score of seven over par, 77 to win the battle.
His NET score of 60 was two shots clear of the 62 which was shot by runner-up Kamarlie Thomas and four ahead of the 64 by third place finisher Marquise George.
Hughes, who attends the Antigua Grammar School was indeed elated with the win.
There were victories as well for Isaiah Forde and little Kamal Vaswami.
Forde excelled in the A flight ahead of sisters Jenah and Jade Andrew and 4th place finisher Jaden Charles while Vaswami took care of business in the 3-hole contest as he came home ahead of Kyion Joseph, Kyle Pringle and Jordan Sipio in that order.
Apart from Bryden, the other sponsors for the championship included the proprietors of Eighteen Plus One Restaurant, Newman and Michelle Wynter.
The championship brought the curtain down on the Striving For Excellence Summer Golf Series.
