Bermuda Players Qualify For Championship
Michael Sims, Camiko Smith, Chaka DeSilva, and Damian Palanyandi have qualified for the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
A spokesperson said, “Four Bermudians have secured their spot in the 2021 Butterfield Bermuda Championship field as the 36-hole local qualifier concluded today at Port Royal Golf Course. Brian Morris, announced earlier this week as a sponsor exemption, joined for the final round to cheer on the qualifiers.
“Michael Sims showed his poise, carding two-over par 144 to earn his third start in the PGA TOUR event. The top finishing Bermudian, winning by four strokes, had the low round of the day with a second-straight one-over par 72.
“Winds subsided for the second round of the local qualifier and the pressure was high for the golfers. Camiko Smith carded a five-over 76 to finish at six-over 148 and get his second consecutive start.
“Chaka DeSilva will make his professional debut after finishing at eight-over par 150 with a round of 73. Amateur Damian Palanyandi also finished with a round of 73 for a nine-over par 151. This will be his first start on the PGA TOUR.
