Captained by Mal Gosling, the team of Tom Wilding, Jack Wahl and Howard DeSilva won the Chilean Trophy for the leading team after the first day's play in the international championship.

They eventually wound up sixth overall in a field of some 20 nations.

However, Wilding picked up one of the individual trophies when he won the final of the scratch fourth flight on the first extra hole of a sudden death play-off.

The diminutive Bermudian played two preliminary rounds to qualify for the fourth flight. And after matching his opponent, Brazilian Lutz Bronger, over 18 holes, he sunk an impressive birdie to clinch the victory.

Wahl also enjoyed a good tournament, qualifying for the Championship flight where he reached the third round.

Bermuda's reserves were Francis Vallis and Bob Clark.

Bermuda golfers failed to qualify for the World Cup of Golf, finishing 10th out of 24 nations during the Western Zone Qualifying held at the Runaway Bay Golf Course on the Jamaica Jamaica Resort in Jamaica last weekend.

Representing the Island were Kim Swan and Dwayne Pearman, but the pair failed to live up to expectations as they combined for an overall score of 300 over two rounds.

"We played alright considering the heat, but we just failed to make the birdies which you need on that course,'' said Pearman yesterday.

Swan recorded the better scores of the two, ending up three-over par, firing 74-73 on the par-72 course. Pearman said he did the best as he could by shooting 78-75.

Venezuela, Finland, Colombia and Peru topped the leaderboard and will now compete at the World Cup in November, where they will meet the top four finishers of the Eastern Zone Qualifying.
