fourth hole of a play-off to take the 15-17 age group title at the Atlantic Junior Championships yesterday at Mid Ocean.

Conditions in the final round made it extremely tough on the two youngsters but Pitcher kept his cool to shoot a par on the 16th hole to edge out Terceira who could only manage a bogey.

Terceira forced the playoff when he shot a 78 on the last 18 holes to wipe out Pitcher's two stroke lead after Pitcher shot an 80, both outstandings scores considering the conditions. Both play off eight handicaps.

Those final scores left both players with a four round total of 312, leaving Pitcher, also a talented cricketer for St. David's, to bounce back in the playoff and take the overall title as well as the boys 15-17 age group.

Jennifer Spurling won the girls division quite handily with a final round of 86 while Laura Robinson finished second.

Steven Roy continued his fine play with a final round of 78 to win the boys 13-14 age group by 13 shots over Doug Markey and Sergio Edness, the first round leader.

In the boys 18-21 division, Justin Barritt hung on to beat Jonathan Blauner of the US, by four shots. Barritt carded a final day 87 while Blauner went four better with his 83.

Tyler Marshall proved victorious in the boys 11-12 while Mark Phillips won the under 10 age bracket.
