Augustus wins Gentleman Jack title

Daniel Augustus stormed to a 10-shot win in the Gentleman Jack PGA of Bermuda Strokeplay Championships at Tucker’s Point.

His scores of 71, 66 and 65 outclassed the other local pros as  Augustus used his big hitting and deadly touch on the greens to overwhelm the golf course and repeat his own previous course record of 65 in the final round.

Paul Adams, President of the PGA of Bermuda, said “I have felt that Daniel had the potential to be the Tiger Woods of Bermuda and it is great to see him finally fulfill the potential.”

Augustus said: “I would like to thank Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. Tucker’s Point was in awesome condition, the grounds team under Andre Cannonier prepared the golf course as if it was a PGA Tour event.”

Dwayne Pearman came second overall but won the Seniors over-50 section, and Keith Smith won the Super Seniors (Over 60) group.
