Dwayne Pearman signed off the golf season in fine style after claiming victory in the professional senior division of the Jamaican Open.

The 59-year-old, who finished second in last year’s tournament, managed to go one better this time at the Aqua Bay Resort, finishing six shots clear of Canada’s David Morland and Danny King, and he was particularly pleased at his return to winning form.

“I am pretty proud with the victory because it’s been a while for me,” he said. “I’ve been a little too quiet for a couple of years so it was great to get the win.

“I finished second here last year and so it’s pleasing to be able to come back and win this time around. I always thought I would get my form back. I’ve had spurts of good form but hadn’t quite got my scoring going. Thankfully it all came together this time round.

“It was pleasing to play with some consistency again and as I said coming away with a victory is always great.”

Pearman held a one-shot lead over Michael Moniz after the opening round but found himself two shots adrift of Morland after the second round after shhoting a six-over par 78.

However, with the title on the line, the Bermudian crucially roared back with a superb three-under par 69 in the final round, with his nearest rival carding a five-over 77.

“I thought I played well on the first day but then not so great on the second,” added Pearman, who admitted to making some adjustments to his game in the build up to the tournament. “However, on the last round it went really well and overall it was just a great day.

“Throughout the tournament it is probably the best I’ve driven in a long time and when you are doing that it always sets you up to have a chance. I made a few small adjustments to my swing and putting, tried them out, and thankfully they paid off.

“That’s me done for this year. I’ll take a break and then aim to come back next year ready to play a lot more consistently.”
