The fairways of the Devonshire track are braced for an influx of elite talent this Sunday, March 15th, as the Ocean View Memorial Tournament returns to the local golfing calendar. Organizers have confirmed a shotgun start at eight o'clock, but all eyes will be fixed firmly on the opening host as two of the most formidable foursomes in the history of the event prepare to lead the charge.
The opening group reads like a "who’s who" of Bermudian professional golf. Leading the way is Nick Jones, joined by the clinical Dwayne Pearman and the versatile Scott Roy. Rounding out this heavyweight quartet is Ebonie Cox, whose presence adds significant caliber to a group already brimming with technical prowess. Their departure from the first tee is expected to set a high bar for the rest of the field as they navigate the coastal wind and rolling greens of the Devonshire layout.
Directly following them from the same starting point is a second foursome that carries equally impressive credentials. OJ Pitcher will face off alongside the experienced Chaka DeSilva, while Darriek Douglas—fresh from a team victory in the Landro Minors Memorial last year—adds further depth to the group. Completing this star-studded second wave is Daniel Augustus, whose recent performances on the overseas circuits have marked him as one of the island's most consistent ball-strikers.
The tournament serves as a poignant fixture on the schedule, bringing the community together to honor the late stalwarts of the game while showcasing the current depth of Bermudian talent. With sixteen of the island's top names clustered at the front of the pack, the eight o'clock start promises to provide a high-octane opening to what has become one of the most anticipated memorial fixtures of the season.
