Dwayne Pearman and Kenny Leseur earned a share of the spoils after finishing as joint medal-winner in the fourth round of the Gosling’s Moongate Tour at Five Forts Golf Course in St George’s yesterday.

Professional Pearman carded a one-over 63 to grasp the clubhouse lead before amateur Leseur drew level with him at the top of the leaderboard coming in among the last groups.

Pearman originally had no intentions of competing in the 18-hole event but had a change of heart at the last minute that ultimately paid off.

“I have been under the weather for the last week and a half with a head cold so I wasn’t going to play,” he told The Royal Gazette. “I wasn’t really feeling it but it worked out all right.”

Pearman got off to poor start. He three-putted for double bogey on the opening hole but eventually found his groove, especially with the putter.

“The putter is working, I am putting really good,” he said. “I don’t know what’s come over me with my putting but I really feel good with the putter right now.”

The player also coped reasonably well with the driver and irons on his stroll around the par 62 layout.

“I hit it OK. Not great, but I hit it OK,” added Pearman, whose scorecard also included three birdies and two bogeys.

“I had to take two penalty drops but outside of that it was fine. I played pretty steady and it wasn’t bad.”

The win was Pearman’s second of the year, having captured his first after pipping amateur Chris Ford for the title by a single shot at Port Royal Golf Course in March.

Leseur was thrilled to get a maiden win on the tour under his belt.

“I played well today. I stayed pretty consistent throughout the round and ended well,” he said.

The 20-year-old college student’s round included three birdies and four bogeys.

“I hit the ball a lot better than I shot, but overall I was pleased,” Leseur added. “The greens are pretty firm so some pins were hard to get to.

“It’s been good the last five months to be injury free for the first time in a long time and I feel like I am back to playing how I know I can.”

Professional Scott Roy and amateur Damian Palanyandi finished tied for third, one shot adrift of the joint winners, to round off the podium finishers.
