A DECISIVE birdie on the last hole by Julian Jordan secured the Ramon Baez-Romano Trophy for Barbados as he and James Johnson combined to win the Caribbean Mid-Amateurs Golf Championship in the Dominican Republic last weekend.
Playing in the 2017 Caribbean Classic Championships, at Punta Cana, the Barbadians staved off host country Dominican Republic to win by two strokes when the hometown players were threatening to deny the defending champions a second straight victory in the division.
Jordan and Johnson completed the 54-hole two-ball/better-ball tournament with a gross 203, while the DR team of Lino Guerrero and Juan Campusano finished second on 205.
Jamaicans Sean Morris and Owen Samuda were third with a gross 217. (BB/PR)
