 Jarryd Dillas & Damian Palanyandi IslandStats.com
The tournament begins at 7:30 with Alan Lugo, Ed Frey, and Simon Benedek leading the field away, followed by competitive groupings including Alistair Lynch, James Caplice, and Matt Hagerty. As the morning mist lifts over the South Shore, the intensity is expected to rise with the arrival of the local game’s heavyweights.
The marquee grouping of the day will see a trio of formidable competitors take to the first tee at 8:10. This featured flight brings together Damian Palanyandi, Jarryd Dillas, and Fraser Hunt in what promises to be a masterclass of ball-striking and tactical play. Both Palanyandi and Dillas are seasoned champions on the Monthly Medal circuit, with Palanyandi previously tasting success at this very event and Dillas coming off a series of strong performances in the first flight and mixed foursomes.
Following the headline act, the action continues with Marcelos Thomas and Walter Jackson at 8:20, while the mid-morning slots feature familiar names like Stefano Barioni and Mylan Simons. The later sessions will see a strong representation from the women’s and senior divisions, with Morgan Lightbourne, Ann Mitchell, and Kimberly Lewis among those closing out the day's play.
With the coastal winds often acting as the final arbiter at Turtle Hill, the 8:10 group will need every bit of their experience to navigate the elevation changes and tucked pins. As the BGA season gathers pace, Saturday represents a crucial opportunity for the island's elite to assert their dominance.
