Dwayne Pearman will resume a quest for a first win in decades at the $60,000 Gosling’s Invitational at Belmont Hills next week.The veteran pro is the last Bermudian to win the tournament, having done so in the early 1990s when the event was then known as the Belmont Invitational.Asked whether he thought he had another win in him, Pearman replied: “I think so because I’m hitting the ball good when I go out there. I’m not playing a real lot but when I do go out it doesn’t feel bad.“I’m getting older but I feel like I’m hitting the ball a lot better than I did years ago.”Pearman will be among those gunning after Joe Horowitz’s title in the professional field this year.And he is sure to have his work cut out playing against many of the overseas pros who have been more active than their Bermudian counterparts lately.“There are some good players in the field and a lot of them are seasoned golfers that are down in Florida playing in different tournaments so when they come here they are ready,” Pearman said. ”These guys are tournament fit so when they come here it’s like another day at the office for them while we haven’t had a local tournament since the Jack Daniels Tour ended months ago.”Pearman enjoys playing at the par -70 Belmont Hills lay-out.“It’s a fun course to play,” he said. “It may be short, but when the wind is up some of those holes are pretty tough. It’s definitely one of the toughest courses when the wind comes up.”Also carrying local hopes this year in the professional field is the big hitting Daniel Augustus while past Gosling’s Invitational winners Brian McCann, Kirk Hanefeld, PH Horgan and Bill Walsh are among the overseas pros expected to be in the thick of the hunt.Multiple winner Tim Conley is a late addition to the field while Canadian pro Keir Smith has withdrawn for personal reasons.Other notable absentees in the professional field include former Senior European Tour player Delroy Cambridge and Bermuda’s Terence Daniels. Cambridge was runner-up behind Hanefeld in 2009 while Daniels finished third in 2010.Rock singer Horowitz beat Nick Kenney by one shot last year to claim a second Gosling’s title.He was a joint winner with former PGA pro Mike Donald in 2008 after a play-off failed to separate the two men. After battling it out during a final round that lasted nearly seven hours the pair decided to call it a tie in fading light.Returning to defend his Open Amateur title this year is American Gray Yancey while Senior Division champion Hav Trott is also back to defend his crown.A total of 96 golfers (42 pros and 54 amateurs) have registered for this year’s toutnament which begins on Monday and finishes next Thursday.A Pro-Am will be held tomorrow.
