Bermudian golfer Eric West secured the Eastern Caribbean Golf Association Championship title in Anguilla, adding another feather to Bermuda’s growing reputation in international golf. The 22‑year‑old finished the tournament with a cumulative score of 223, seven strokes over par, after a strong second‑round performance that gave him a comfortable lead.

West opened the event with a 75, a modest start by Caribbean standards, but rebounded in round two with a 70 under‑par that pushed him ahead of the field. He capped the competition with a 78 in the final round, a score that proved sufficient to hold off the defending champion and other regional contenders.

The victory is a milestone for West, who has been honing his game on Bermuda’s challenging courses and has expressed a desire to compete more regularly on the global stage. “Winning here is a great confidence boost,” West said after the final round. “I’m looking forward to taking this experience to bigger tournaments and representing Bermuda with pride.”

The championship, held at the picturesque Royal Anguilla Golf Club, attracted top talent from across the Caribbean, further underscoring the region’s competitive depth. For Bermuda, West’s success highlights the potential of local players to make an impact abroad and may inspire a new wave of young golfers to pursue professional careers.

As the island’s golf community celebrates West’s triumph, attention turns to the next steps in his development and the opportunities that lie ahead in the world’s most demanding tournaments.
