Hale joins Ames on US golf circuit

One of Trinidad and Tobago’s top professional golfers, Damian Hale will be playing in the PGA’s Honda Classic which will be held at the Country Club at Mirasol, this weekend in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA.

Hale tied for second place out of a field of 178 other hopefuls in the weekly “Monday qualifier”, out of which only two golfers can advance. He captured the coveted berth by winning a sudden-death playoff on Tuesday morning against PGA veteran Blaine Mc Alister with a birdie on the second hole. Hale has been campaigning on the TAM Tour earning over US $30,000 in five events since his return to the US after winning the professional leg of the BP Pro-Am earlier this year. Another Trinidadian, Stephen Ames has been playing exceedingly well on the US circuit also and will now have company in Damian Hale.
