The Masters is now but 72 holes away for Barbados’ best.

Top golfers James Johnson, Julian Jordan and Scott Stollmeyer have been given the chance to play for a spot at the sport’s most prestigious event after being invited to next week’s inaugural Latin American Amateur Championship in Argentina.

Barbados Golf Association president Cally Boyea broke the major news yesterday after the Bajan trio were given slots to appear at tournament, which was set up to give amateurs the opportunity to play in the Masters – golf’s biggest major.

“This is a big recognition for the level and the talent of our golf here in Barbados that we were given three spots at these inaugural championships, where a spot at the Masters is on the line,” said Boyea via telephone.
